Ernest & Julio Gallo Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 1997

Northern Sonoma, Sonoma County, California, United StatesExcellent dark colour with gobs of spicy, smoky, aromas streaked with resin, blackberry and cassis. Quite aromatic and full-flavoured. This is a dense red wine with big extract, big peppery, licorice fruit and the characteristic warm (alcoholic) Gallo finish. A very good wine that could be even better if they managed to get the balance right and reduce some of the coarseness that accompanies the high alcohol.Tasted: 16 November 2002Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
