Gnarly Head wines and the Grateful Dead raise a glass to 60 years of legendary American music with two new Anniversary-Edition wines, marking the fourth year of their fan-favorite collaboration. The limited-release Old Vine Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon will hit shelves nationwide next month in commemorative bottles featuring the Grateful Dead's official 60th anniversary logo brought to life with show-stopping holographic foil.

The limited-release wines feature label designs that capture the Grateful Dead's rich visual history and showcase the band's special anniversary artwork of a memorable 60-year journey. The designs pair timeless Grateful Dead imagery with a contemporary twist, accented by holographic details and Gnarly Head's rugged vine iconography for a bold tribute to music and wine.

"The incredible response to our past collaborations with the Grateful Dead has shown how this partnership resonates with fans," noted Brett Johnson, Portfolio Director for Delicato Family Wines, the family-owned California winery that crafts Gnarly Head wines.

Johnson continued, "We're excited to introduce a new version of our limited-release wines that honors the Grateful Dead's 60-year legacy of genre-defying music and the lasting cultural impact that has made the band a true American icon."

"For 60 years, the Grateful Dead has brought people together through music, community, and shared experiences—and that spirit lives on in this special collaboration with Gnarly Head wines," said David Lemieux, Grateful Dead archivist and legacy manager. "These Anniversary-Edition wines capture the energy, creativity, and individuality that have defined the Dead for six decades, and fans now have a new way to celebrate the music and memories made along the way."

Fans can be among the first to sip the new Limited-Edition wines at the Dead & Company's three headline shows in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, August 1–3, where Gnarly Head will pour its Gnarly Head x Grateful Dead Old Vine Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon for guests 21 and over.

Crafted from 35- to 85-year-old vines in California's Lodi region, the 2023 Gnarly Head x Grateful Dead Old Vine Zinfandel bursts with lush dark fruit flavors followed by a lingering hint of vanilla and peppery warmth from oak aging. The 2024 Gnarly Head x Grateful Dead Cabernet Sauvignon, grown in select California vineyards, offers juicy layers of plum, blackberry, and toasted mocha with a smooth, velvety finish. The winemaking behind both is a tribute to Gnarly Head's expressive, fruit-forward style—made to pair perfectly with the music that inspired them.

Gnarly Head's Limited-Edition Old Vine Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon will be available nationwide beginning in August at a suggested retail price of $12. For more information on these limited release cuvées or other Gnarly Head wines, visit gnarlyhead.com or follow the brand on Instagram.
