Gnarly Head, Lodi (San Joaquin Valley, California) Zinfandel 2020

Apr 5, 2022

By Wayne Belding

 Zinfandel is a signature variety of California and especially the Lodi growing region.  The 2020 Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin is a big and jammy style.  At the nose, candied blackberry, black cherry and plum fruits are underlain by nuances of herbs and spice.  On the palate, the luscious, jammy ripe black fruits finish with a lively touch of red.  It has a creamy texture and a bit of licorice that lingers at the finish.
