E+J Gallo Frei Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

Here's a review I received from tancred. It turns out that Kelly and I reviewed this wine last fall (there are enough posts now that it's getting hard to keep track), but I think it is interesting to have an independent review.

--- tancred's Review ---

Lush and rich with lots of black licorice, dark berries and hints of toasted marshmallow. Spicy, almost peppery. Nice integrated oak, lots of tannins, and a very long finish. No green capsicum taste at all, a flavor note characteristic of (cheaper) cabernets. Overall a very nice wine, and a bargain at the price. I hope more recent vintages are listed.

Price: $22.50 (marked down from $28 or so)
Score: 90
Value: 4/5
UPC: No longer available
