Ick. Got this to use a mail-in rebate, so only paid $4.50 for it, but it wasn't very good. Stewed plums, a sour-bitter back end (and/or front end) that just wasn't very enjoyable. I finished it off but wouldn't buy it again at any price.

I hadn't tried Gnarly Head despite (and probably because of) its in-your-face wine shelf presence. But a mail-in rebate enticed me (so I got this bottle for a cool $5). This is just an awesome, tasty $5 bottle of wine. I will be buying more to max out the mail-in rebate and will definitely put the Gnarly Head Cab on my go-to list when it's on sale in the $8-9 range. (I also got the Authentic Red, but haven't tried it yet.)
