An uninteresting wine, from the awkward, stemmy aromas to the rough mouthfeel. True, there’s some ripe berry fruit, but the wine is soft and featureless, and has herbal flavors of bay leaf and oregano. —S.H. ——S.H.(3/1/2003)—— 83

For seven bucks (and probably less than that in selected markets) you get a very nice Cabernet Sauvignon. Only Gallo consistently knows how to do this kind of stuff, making a wine that’s so rich and flavorful at this everyday price, which is a full dollar less than last year.——S.H.(11/15/2008)—— 86
