  Inky, deep ruby colour. Powerful nose of thyme, plumb and blueberry. Favour is rich and smooth with pepper and thyme, layered on blueberry and black licorice. The finish is long and herbacious. It decanted for close to two hours, so likely able to age much longer.

  Oh the average rating for this wine is 90.9 points and I gave 91. Look --- this is a solid wine. No apologies. Gorgeous wine, eminently drinkable. A gift from a friend whose father supplied grapes to the Gallo family and who retained the ability to buy wine at 'friends and family' prices. My friend gifted me this bottle for my 60th birthday so you know it's damn good. And it is. Gorgeous wine. Smooth. Delicious. Wonderful. California wine at its best. Truly. Thank you Matt! You are a bud. Nice wine.

  Fruit forward with a good flavor profile. Taste of plum. Not bold like a traditional cab but a good wine.

  Charcoal and leather nose. Medium body. Velvety tannins that aren’t overwhelming and assist with an overall balance. Tart finish.
