Gnarly Head California Merlot Red Wine has aged for a minimum of three months in American and French oak. It is a boldly fruit-driven with concentrated black stone fruit flavors. It has a deep ruby red color. It breaks the Merlot mold and tells a story of power and finesse. Anything but classic, it shows off bold aromas of raspberry, pomegranate, baking spice, and notes of vanilla, followed by juicy flavors of ripe plum, caramel, and a hint of buttered toast rounding out the finish. Elegant, velvety tannins and lush fruit make this Merlot an ideal match for beef sliders, Tandoori chicken, or even chocolate mousse. Enjoy!
