The tannin is ripe and present. Alcohol and acidity are well integrated and the finish is of a pleasant length.

Vinification of the Gnarly Head Cabernet Sauvignon

This single varietal red wine is vinified from selected grapes of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety around Lodi. 

The grapes are harvested in the cool of the night when they are at their ripest and immediately brought to the Gnarly Head winery to be destemmed. This is followed by fermentation for 24-48 hours at a controlled temperature. When this is complete, part of this wine is aged in American and French oak barrels, while the remaining part is aged in stainless steel tanks to allow generous black fruit notes to develop.
