Gallo Signature Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley comes sashaying out of the glass with floral notes of violets and lilacs over a core of warm cassis, baked black cherries and mulberries plus touches of cedar and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is an exercise in poise with lovely fine-grained tannins and well-knit freshness supporting the bold black fruits, finishing long and fragrant. Terrific value! Drink date: 2020-2035. Score – 93. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown, MW, robertparker.com, April 9, 2020)
