Score 90/100 · Drink 2002-2017, Robert Parker, Jun 2002

The 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate reveals richness, layers of concentration, and a compelling texture. Its dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by scents of jammy cassis, earth, plums, and prunes. The new oak is well integrated. This rich, full-bodied, textured, thick, and juicy offering is one of the finest efforts I have tasted from Gallo. It can be drunk now or cellared for 12-15+ years.

The saturated ruby/purple-colored 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate offers a classic bouquet of sweet black currants intermixed with earth, spice box, and wood. Although medium to full-bodied and accessible, this 1996 reveals firm tannin in the finish. Pure, concentrated, and authoritatively-flavored, this impressive Cabernet Sauvignon should age nicely for 10-15 years. Tel. (209) 579-3111; Fax (209) 579-4361
