Delicious and strong, very good with homemade pizza or alone. Barely a preference for aerated, really either way was delicious. Got when we met Gina Gallo and Jean Charles at the wine expo in 2019

Oct 26th, 2017This could easily pass for a macauley zin. This is big, briary, and just freaking delicious. Think venge style zins or turley. 10% monte rosso along with dry creek vineyards.

2012 vintage. Very nice berry flavor with a little smoke. Smooth not acidic. Will buy again. $40

May 1st, 2018Coravin flight. All 3 of these were so different. The gallo signature is just a classic zin with brambly fruit. They do a great job with balancing fruit and structure. The macauley was rich and dark with sweeter fruit. The scarlett is so unique. This a lush vintage with oodles of cherry fruit. Really fun flight.
