---90+ pt RATING---Cabernet Sauvignon combined with Cabernet Franc and Merlot. It is an elegant wine with outstanding structure. The concentration of black berries and toasty aromas obtained after 14 months of ageing in French oak is crowned with a long and velvety mid-taste. Unfiltered.

DESCRIPTION/REVIEWS:
"The 2004 Gala 2 is composed of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Merlot aged for 14 months in French oak and bottled unfiltered. Opaque-purple, it has a Bordeaux-like bouquet of pain grille, scorched earth, smoke, and black currant. Full-bodied, the wine has a firm entry onto the palate accompanied by plenty of spicy black fruits with underlying silky tannin. This well-balanced effort will unfold over the next 5-7 years and drink well through 2025."—Wine Advocate –90+ pts
