Grateful Dead Limited Edition

2022 Lodi Zinfandel, Zinf

The Gnarly Head Grateful Dead Limited Edition Zinfandel from Lodi, vintage 2022, embodies the spirit of this vibrant region with an exciting, full-bodied character. This wine opens with an intensely rich bouquet of dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, seamlessly intertwined with hints of spice and a touch of oak. On the palate, it charms with a prominent fruit intensity that is both bold and well-balanced, complemented by high, lively acidity that keeps each sip refreshing and mouthwatering. The tannins are firm yet approachable, providing a structured backbone that leads to a smooth, lasting finish. This Zinfandel is a testament to Lodi's winegrowing prowess and makes a fantastic addition to any collection, especially for those who cherish both exceptional wine and the legendary Grateful Dead.

Central Valley
Central Valley

Away from the dramatically cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean, Central Valley is California's breadbasket, where much of the country's fruit, vegetables, nuts and grapes are grown. Bathed in sunshine and growing in fertile soils, Central Valley spreads 400 miles from Sacramento to Fresno. Because of its heat, the region produces abundant Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon, which soak up the sun and transform it into dense, deeply colored wine. In the region's cooler AVAs—those that lie around the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, such as Lodi—higher acid grapes like Chenin Blanc, Colombard, Barbera and Chardonnay grow with great success.
