The Story
Racy and saturated with hints of blackberry pie and forest floor, Gallica Cabernet Sauvignon wears the mantle of Napa Valley at its core with the best of Oakville’s high tone personality. Youthful and luminous, with bold fruit accentuated by juicy and round tannins. Bright and lovely, It can be admired while young but will enjoy a long life with further cellaring.
92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Gallica's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch Vineyard offers up impressively concentrated blueberry and cassis fruit, limned with notes of dark chocolate, loam and faint hints of sage and bay leaf. It's medium to full-bodied and rather modestly textured, with a slightly coarse feel on the finish. Perhaps I'm being overly critical, but I just don't see the same beauty in this vintage that prior reviewers have in preceding ones—it comes across as rather chunky and lacking a degree of elegance.

Ripe blueberries, blackberries, walnuts, cigar box and dried leaves on the nose. Crushed stones too. Full-bodied with firm tannins and a plush, deep core of dark fruit. Firm and concentrated.
