Gallo Signature Series Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
The Gallo Signature Series brings to life the enduring legacy of Ernest and Julio Gallo, and it celebrates the Gallo family’s vision for the future. After more than two decades as a winemaker, Gina Gallo embarked on a journey to tell Gallo family’s story through a deeply personal collection of wines. With incomparable access to some of California’s most sought-after vineyards, Gina is able to tap into their diverse collection of estate vineyards to hand-select the finest Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. For the “king of reds,” Gina looked to Napa Valley to craft a rich Cabernet Sauvignon. The addition of William Hill Estate Vineyard, to the family’s collection of vineyards, gave Gina the opportunity to work with Cabernet grapes from an extraordinary benchland property in southern Napa. Blending this Cabernet with Petit Verdot grapes from Monte Rosso, their legendary mountaintop vineyard in Sonoma Valley, Gina made a robust, elegant wine to complement the Burgundy-style varietals in the Gallo Signature Series.
