2002 Napa Valley Vineyards, Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon ($10.99). Alcohol level: 13.5%. Another offering from Gallo by way of Louis Martini.
Very nice wine for the buck. Gives a stong shot of red and black fruit on the nose and upfront. Blackberries, black currents, cheeries, sage, and vanilla (oak) come together for a complex and jammy middle; and the finish lingers surprisingly.
Would not be surprised if this was made from surplus overripe fruit. Would also guess it was aged out!
