Daughter and I were at Cost Plus so she could get some bath oils and other girly stuff. I wandered over to the wine department to browse for some low cost, but drinkable wines. I picked up a Marietta Lot 46 and an 04 St Francis Red. Daughter asked about the Gnarly Head Zin. Since she has a good track record of picking good wine, I added it to the basket. I would have tried a few others that were there, but was saving some $$ for Total Wine and cheap, I mean, value Burgundy.
2006 Gnarly Head Zinfandel Aromas of crushed bramble fruit and spice followed flavors of boysenberries, blackberries and pepper. Moderate tannins and juicy acidity give way to a lingering cherry finish. 14.5% abv. At $9 this will likely become our house barbecue red for the summer.
