Crafted in the classic Bordeaux tradition, this Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with all five Bordeaux varietals, adding depth and complexity to the wine. The palate unfolds with intriguing layers of anise, black tea, and ripe cherry, complemented by a distinctive hint of Beeman's gum that adds character and nostalgia. Elegant and beautifully integrated, this mature wine offers a long, nuanced finish that continues to evolve with each sip.
Vineyard Info
Galles Vineyard is located just northeast of the Greenville and Tesla Road intersection in Livermore Valley. Meticulously farmed by the Galles family, the vineyard is pruned to a low yield of no more than three tons per acre to maximize fruit quality. Situated on rolling hillsides, the vineyard's varying elevations allow grapes to ripen at different rates, often requiring multiple harvest passes to achieve optimal flavor and balance. Strong afternoon winds provide natural cooling, helping preserve acidity and develop the complexity, structure, and finesse characteristic of this Bordeaux-style Cabernet Sauvignon.
