Very light! Sweet but not too sweet. Didn’t blow me away, but I like it bc it doesn’t overpower. Cheap like $5. Peach/honey/citrus — 4 years ago
I figured that with their vast resources, this top of the line Gallo can’t be bad. It did not disappoint. Good concentration with lavish oak that’s well integrated. Supple yet robust on the palate. Fresh acidity and fine grained tannins. A lot to like here. — 10 months ago

“Ojo Gallo’, Castellano for ‘rooster eye’ (in other words, what the French call ‘oeil de perdrix’), hearkens back to the traditional clarete style of the region. This dark rosé (light red?) is a field blend of very old vines of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Bobal, Monastrell, Viura, Albillo and Malvasia co-fermented in cement and raised for 8 months in used barrels before bottling without added sulfur” — 3 years ago
The community of Saint-Estèphe has it roots in the Gallo-Roman origins of this chateau. A blend of 78% Cab Sauv, 20% Merlot & 2% Petit Verdot. Deep Ruby with aromas of dense sweet black fruits with herb and earthy spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry, currant like, with tobacco, tar and hints of vanilla exposing mushroom notes. Well balanced, ripe textured tannins, long finish ending with earthy character. Nice, has plenty of room to develop. — 5 years ago

So easy to drink, yet still very interesting. Not too sweet at all. A great, affordable wine to have on hand. — 8 days ago
