Galleron 1999 Morisoli Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $100
From a vineyard in Rutherford, this wine expresses the heart and soul of the appellation. Intensely beautiful aromas of black currants, rich, thick and fine tannins, and soft acids are framed in beautiful oak. Soft and gentle in the mouth, but with an authority that affirms itself on the long, fine finish. Spectacular. —S.H.

Galleron 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $45
Smells and tastes classy, with that powerful cassis and new oak one-two punch that’s hard to resist. Has ripe flavors of currants, minty chocolate and vanilla, just delicious, wrapped in a super soft texture of sweet tannins.

Galleron 2001 Morisoli Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
- $100
Very ripe and classic in the sweet black currant, red cherry, cassis and fine smoky oak flavors and rich, gentle tannins. Very generous in flavor and mouthfeel. A little soft, and drinking well right now. Defines elegance and richness.

Galleron 2000 Morisoli Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $100
Starts with that telltale pedigree aroma of perfectly ripe blackcurrant and cassis complexed with fine smoky oak. In the mouth, soft and gentle, immediately likeable, with ripe, forward flavors. Decadent and delicious, but may be too soft for aging. Drink now.

Galleron 1999 Trio Vineyard Chardonnay (Napa Valley)
- $40
From the smoky, spicy nose through the spicy apple notes in the mouth, this bottling has an intriguing earth and mineral streak from start to finish. Medium-bodied, the wine offers some lemon and mineral tang and a lot of smoky oak on the finish.

Galleron 2000 Jaeger Vineyard Merlot (Napa Valley)
- $32
Soft and gentle, with herb, coffee and cherry flavors. Oak adds vanilla and smoky notes. The flavors are marvelous, yet you wish the wine had a firmer structure. Finishes dry.

Galleron 2004 Generation Series Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
- $40
Made from 100% Cabernet, this young wine was showing some tough, hard tannins in July 2007. It’s clean and dry, but doesn’t quite have the fruity stuffing for the long haul. Drink now.

Galleron 2001 Branham Rockpile Zinfandel (Sonoma County)
- $32
Shows nice berry and earth flavors, with Zin’s brambly edge, and finishes dry and balanced. The texture is soft.
