Even MORE Galleron Magick; Morisoli Included!

Our good friend Gary Galleron came by the other day, to deliver yet more of that delicious Cabernet that most of you purchased in massive (well over 100 cases) quantities.

Along with the wine he dropped off samples of two more library wines, along with a "pricelist" scrawled hastily on a fast-food napkin.

As hard to believe as it seems, Gary has "topped" the deal he gave us last time; offering his 2002 Rockpile Zinfandel for $16.75 (originally $32) and his 2001 Morisoli Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (yes THAT Morisoli Vineyard) for $25.75/bottle (originally $100)

As loathe as we are to use the word "bargain" in this business, it's really hard to avoid it. This is an opportunity to grab Zinfandel from one of the best appellations in the world for about half price.

And we don't need to tell you what an opportunity it is to be able to obtain a Napa Cabernet from a great vintage sourced from famous vineyard for nearly 75% off.

2001 Galleron Morisoli Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

$309/case, $25.75/bottle

120 Cases Produced

100% Cabernet Sauvignon

The Cab is gloriously aromatic with sublime aromas that leap from the glass. An intensely beautiful bouquet of black plums, dark exotic spices, roses and deep black fruit engulf the senses. The first sip reveals the massive proportions of this voluptuous Cabernet. A big, soft mouthful of crushed blackberries, dark cherries and sweet oak, linger and seduce the palate. Bursting with rich valley floor fruit, this Cabernet is intensely pleasurable and ready to drink tonight.

2002 Galleron Zinfandel Branham Rockpile Vineyard Sonoma

$201/case, $16.75/bottle

195 Cases produced

100% Zinfandel

The vines for this exceptional mountain fruit are spring fed from an underground stream, creating pure fruit flavors of raspberry, cherry and strawberry, against a backdrop of wildflower aromas and great minerality. Black raspberry and a hint of clove round out the deep rich fruit flavors on the palate. This wine has such great balancing acidity that it pairs beautifully with food. This is classic Rockpile Zinfandel at a crazy good price.
