Ernest & Julio Gallo Cabernet Sauvignon Frei Ranch Vineyard 1997

Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesThe 97 Frei is all cabernet sauvignon and all Dry Creek. It's a monster red with a warm alcoholic sheen. Look for fairly big tannins dense structure and smoky, spicy, peppery fruit. The finish is still relatively youthful flecked with dry, vanilla and oak toast flavours. A good if somewhat coarse wine.Tasted: 16 November 2002Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
