Gnarly Head

Old Vine Zin; 
Lodi Zinfandel
California
2008

A dark, deep red.  This wine is very bold in flavor, just like the color would indicate.  We recommend paired with hearty Italian food.

Colin:  After being introduced to this wine at a local Italian Restaurant, I have fallen in love.  It's a meaty, full-bodied red that you want to "drink" with a knife and fork.  Where a red can fail you is the finish, and the this finishes magnificently.  Might have something to do with their 80 year old vines.
Rating: 9 out of 10 glasses

Rachel:  This wine has a bite to it, in a good way.  It kicks your taste buds into gear and opens your senses.  It has such a smooth finish that you almost forget you've been drinking wine.  I don't know how they manage that bite to smooth - but this is definitely one of the best bottles under $10.
Rating:  7 out of 10 glasses

Where can I find it?
They sell it at Ralphs, Vons, supermarkets, Bev-Mo.  Chances are, it will be an easy find, especially if you live in California.

Cost:  $7.00-$9.00 (you can find it on sale sometimes too!)
