Ernest & Julio Gallo Cabernet Sauvignon Barrelli Creek Vineyard 1999

Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesThe Barrelli Creek cab is consistently rich and inviting on the palate and the '99 edition does not disappoint. Look for a ripe nose of cassis fruit and mocha so characteristic of Alexander Valley mixed with cedar and spice. More blackberry and cedar fruit fills out the wine plenty of sweet vanilla fruit in the finish. A fine '99 Bistro Ralph suggests you serve with duck breast and huckleberry sauce.Tasted: 28 May 2003Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
