Totally sippable but tannins and developing oak say “let me rest another...year! Cab can be finicky. It needs its rest. This guy is rich but a wee bit rough. I would taste in, say, 1 1/2 years it would be a 9.1. On the up-note the Gallo camp sent me the marvelous cab glass I sipped it from and I taste-tested it against my go-to fave glass (the overly pricy but miraculous Zalto burgundy glass) and the glass the Martini/Riedel peeps devised KILLS (tried on another cab too) if you are drinking cab. What dooooo ya know

Apr 20th, 2021After a long week of work this wine’s mission was to give me the skills needed to bring home a solo dub in fortnite. Upon first taste, I fear that we will fall short. I categorize this wine as more of a crutch to get a squad dub, but not good enough to bring home a solo Victory Royale.
