Gnarly Head Cabernet Sauvignon (75cl, 13.5%)

Gnarly Head Cabernet Sauvignon is a California Cabernet Sauvignon from Delicato Family Vineyards, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It draws on old, head-trained vines across California, including Lodi, Monterey and the North Coast, with fruit harvested in the cool early morning and aged on a blend of American and French oak. The nose shows baked black plum and ripe black cherry, followed by charred oak, cedar and potpourri, with violet florals, black pepper and a hint of mocha. The palate is juicy and direct, with blackberry and dark cherry jam, toasted oak, allspice, boysenberry and a subtle streak of black tea. The finish is medium in length, with dark plum, baking spice and a whisper of chocolate.
