2016 Gallo Signature Series Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

The nice thing about being located smack dab in the middle of Napa Valley is that we hear about new wines before anyone else. Gina Gallo dropped by the store to say "hi" and gave us a sneak peek of her newest Gallo lineup. We begged her to release them to us, and she was happy to share. This Cabernet was our favorite; it drinks like a $100 bottle.  Thankfully, it’s only $39.95! It’s not easy to find Napa Valley Cabernet at this price point these days. It’s time to load up for your weekday sipping pleasure.

The Gallo name has been a hallmark in fine wine production since 1933. It saw the future of what Napa Valley should be and helped make it a reality. Today, with a nod to the past and an eye toward the future, third-generation winemaker Gina Gallo carries on the family’s winemaking tradition, expressing the depth of character found in our diverse vineyards.

This wine starts off with a hue of concentrated blackberry, violets, and cassis. The body is firm, full, and complex throughout. It finishes long on the palate with assertive tannins that are rounded and fresh. Enjoy today through 2030.
