Gallo Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon |
2004 Sonoma Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Our Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon presents captivating aromas of red currant, raspberry, black cherry and spice. Rich layers of fresh crushed berries, currant and fine tannins unfold on the palate. Medium in body, the wine is very approachable now and maintains a balanced mouthfeel. The grapes were destemmed but not crushed, leaving whole berries in the fermenter. During fermentation, the grapes underwent a 24 hour cold soak. This wine completed malolactic fermentation and was partially aged in a combination of French, European and American oak barrels providing an elegant, beautifully balanced wine with a medium body and smooth, lingering finish. |
