2007 Gnarly Head Zin

Looked like a good pick...and hadn't had a red zin in a while.  Also had a hankering for a California wine.

Nose & Look - Not a super deep red that I expected, but a great color anyway.  Slightly clear.  Great tannin smell, great fruitiness and grape, great oak.  Everything comes very nicely.

Taste - Great fullness, which is accented by sharp fruit notes and tannins.

Rating - 7
This wine doesn't need to have much said about it except it's exceptional and will not disappoint.

  1. I love Zin. I picked up a bottle or 07' Ridge 3 Valleys which i can get about a case or two thats left but i looked online and it SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE! I get a 10% discount when i get 6 or more so let me know if you want in and it'll come to 20-21 a bottle and this is a 92/100 rated wine . read up on it.

    always thought about buying the gnarley head and ahven't yet. i will now
