Tasting - Gnarly Head Limited Grateful Dead Edition Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

 

Name: Gnarly Head Limited Grateful Dead Edition

Variety:  Cabernet Sauvignon

Region: Lodi, California

Country: USA

Year: 2021

Price: 10.99

Wine Review: This Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold wine grown from some of the oldest vines in California. Gnarly Head’s untamed vines produce full-flavored grapes, dense with aromas of black cherry, juicy blackberry, peppercorn and charred oak. This dense and jammy wine boasts a bold tannin structure and a generous finish for those who like unique, big wines with a little eclectic edge.

Wine Folly: The rich flavor and high tannin content in Cabernet Sauvignon make it a perfect partner to rich grilled meats, peppery sauces, and dishes with high flavor (p. 88).

My Review: This wine was enjoyable. I thought it was very bold and rich. It had pink edges and I tasted spices like pepper. The fruity tastes of black cherry and pomegranates, and something else sweet. It was not very acidic nor tannic and it opened my nose. It also had great mouth feel. (3/5)
