Gallo of Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon Barrelli Creek Vineyard 2002

Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesSmoky, peppery, cedar, tobacco, black olive, leather, cassis nose. Round, dry, elegant, moderately rich palate but dry tannins. Cedar-y, resiny, coffee, prune, earthy, cassis, cardamom flavours. A bit chunky and hot with some acidity showing on the finish. Needs a few years to round out and hopefully tame the acidity.Tasted: 21 August 2006Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
