Description
Awarded a Double Gold Medal at the 2013 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. The 'Old Head' here refers to the purposeful aging in previously used barrels to gain the benefits of the creamy feel and vanilla complexities provided by the oak, without allowing the oak to overshadow the bright fruit flavours.

Tasting Notes
Luscious and creamy with mature fruit and notes of vanilla and oak, this is a surprisingly impressive wine for the price. It's dense and flavorful but tangy and balanced. Score - 90. (Anthony Dias Blue, tastingpanelmag.com, March 2020)
