About this bottle
Gnarly Head 1924 is a California Cabernet Sauvignon finished in used bourbon barrels, built specifically to bridge bourbon drinkers and red wine drinkers. The 2021 vintage is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the bourbon-barrel time adds a layer of vanilla, toasted coconut, and a faint smokiness on top of the grape's usual dark fruit and oak. It drinks full-bodied and a touch sweeter on the finish than a standard Cabernet, thanks to the bourbon wood's residual char. It's a crossover bottle for someone who normally reaches for bourbon and wants a red wine that meets them halfway.
How to drink Gnarly Head 1924
Pour it a touch cooler than a typical Cabernet, around 62-65°F, so the bourbon-barrel sweetness doesn't feel heavy. It pairs well with barbecue or smoked meats — the char in the food echoes the char in the barrel.
