Gallo Signature Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Professional Ratings

• 93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley opens with wonderfully expressive crème de cassis, plum preserves and blueberry pie notes with hints of pencil shavings, dried Mediterranean herbs, tapenade, wood smoke and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied, it has a rock-solid, firm frame of ripe, grainy tannins and just enough freshness to lift the densely packed, muscular fruit, finishing long and earthy.
• 93 James Suckling
  Jet-black fruit to this such as dark plums and morello cherries as well as coffee beans, walnuts, licorice and hazelnuts. The palate is surprisingly vivacious with a line of refreshing acidity, round, chewy tannins and a long finish. Needs time.
• 90 Decanter
  Exuberant kirsch aromas are reined in by smoky-tarry notes, cloves and black olives. Sleek and stylish with noticeable alcohol and sweet malty chocolate tones on the finish.
• 90 Wine Enthusiast
  This is a 100% varietal wine from William Hill Estate grapes. It is a softly textured effort that offers the perfect amount of underlying tannic grip. Cinnamon, red currant and plum flavors complement cured meat, black olive, soy and black licorice.
