Tasting - Gnarly Head Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Gnarly Head Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2012
Price: $8

Winery Review: Gnarly Head Cabernet Sauvignon embodies bold. It’s rich, fruit-driven, and dense, with a juicy core of dark fruit. Our winemakers carefully select grapes from California’s finest growing regions, choosing only the best fruit. Some say that Cabernet is the king of wines and our bold Gnarly Head Cabernet proudly wears the crown. Our dark, bold Cabernet has solid tannins and jammy fruit, with aromas and flavors of black cherry, currant, dried cranberry and black peppercorn followed by a trio of clove, earth and light toast. Gnarly Cabernet Sauvignon is a worthy companion to the heartiest meals, be sure to try it with grilled lamb, New York strip steak with roasted potatoes, baked manicotti or some bold blue cheese.

My Review:
This wine had very fruity aromas. The major smells that came forward were black fruits, jam, and vanilla. The taste was very fruit forward. I got hints of black fruit, oak, and vanilla. It has solid tannins and is actually a somewhat complex wine. It has a medium-long finish and goes down smooth. This is a great value wine and would definitely drink this again.
