Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

A shade of dark purple that is nearly black and opaque, impressively deep shade. The complex nose leads with barrel notes consisting of sweet oak spice, smoke, and toasty cocoa. Fruit is present but hidden until sufficient decanting allows the ripe blueberry, blackberry, and blackcurrant to emerge. Palate is similarly concentrated with dominant oak and supporting dark fruit. Big on all structural fronts with healthy doses of tannin, acid, and body. An impressive wine capable of aging. Pair this gem with bacon-wrapped filet mignon between 2020 and 2030.




Natalie's Review

Gallo Signature Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2014, Napa Valley, California, United States: Gallo's Signature Series Cabernet Sauvignon is deep and dark with a bit of Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah added to the blend for its deep garnet colour and savoury perfume. Rich with layers of black and blueberry compote, savoury herbs, earthy and smoky. Good for the cellar or decant for two hours and enjoy now with a juicy grilled ribeye steak.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
