As a carpet man I defend my rite to lie

So I did. 1997 Gallo Sonoma Stefani Vineyard. Almost overripe plummy, black cherry fruits hit the nose with liberal doses of cardamon, cinnamon, earth, and cassis all are evident in the nose and palate.Still soft tannins shut down the aftertaste so look for this neat bottling to peak in another 2-4. Like the other 2 Vineyard bottlings, beautifuuly rendered and killer values. 91/92. 25 by the box. 14.2%alc. WW
