It’s been 16 months since last bottle of this Gargiulo G Major 7. One of my early Napa favorites. Fruit is ripe and bountiful, dark red and black. Very nicely balanced, acidity is very much holding its own, tannins are soft yet still structured. Gravely, vanilla, licorice, pencil shavings. Nice finish. Opens up nicely in the glass. — a month ago

Ruby red color with red fruit aromas and gentle floral spice, aged for 11 months in 30% new French oak. On the palate flavors of black cherry and raspberry with notes of herb tea, spice with wet stone notes. Fine dusty tannins on a long finish ending with fruit, herbs and savory earthy mineral notes. Very Nice, will age, tasting well now! — 2 months ago

On the palate flavors of apple and pear with citrus and floral wrapped in a nutty vanilla spice.
