With a name like "Gnarly Head" and your recommendation I had to see for myself. The Kroger salesman ushered me to the spot. he must hav had a customer or so. I missed the "vanilla" reported on the bottle and in notes about vinfadel wines and was surprised by the little tannin. A very pleasant experience. Thanks.
