Gnarly Head
Gnarly Head wines began with a vision and a vine. In 2004, on a mission to make a serious Zinfandel, winemakers journeyed to Lodi in search of the famed old vine Zinfandel vineyards. Grown in the head-trained, spur-pruned method for over a century, these vigorous gnarled vines produced more ripened red fruit than they had ever seen. They took it as a challenge to create the biggest, boldest Zinfandel they had ever made. The result was authentic, structured wines with a hint of something unexpected. Something Gnarly.
But Zinfandel is not the only grape that can be Gnarly. Our winemakers select grapes from some of the best vineyards in Northern California to produce wines in our Gnarly house style–big and juicy. These wines are the perfect complement to life’s bold moments.
1924 Wines
Back in 1924, the heart of Prohibition and
wine’s darkest hour—our founders planted their first vineyard. Rumor has it some of those grapes might have been used to make wine. That same rebellious 1920s spirit lives on in our daring wines—and in those who drink them.
In every bottle of 1924 Wines is a toast raised high to the 1920s rebels who sipped in secret behind speakeasy doors.
Z. Alexander Brown
Zac Brown has always been a creator, and learned the importance of devoting himself to his craft early in life. He applies that passion for quality not only to his music, but to all the creative endeavors he undertakes. Zac’s approach to wine is no different. Highlighting the quality of California, Z. Alexander Brown wines are big and bold with uncommon finesse and character. They are reflective of the unlimited potential that can result when a passion for bringing food, people and a sense of place come together.
Our winemaking style is perfectly matched to the spirit of Z. Alexander Brown. It reflects our pursuit to create wines that offer bold, assertive flavors, good balance and supple tannins while capturing the richness of California’s North Coast.
