Only Gallo, who owns the brand, and a few others could pull off a Cabernet this good and affordable. It’s got lovely varietal flavors of blackcurrants and a rich, gentle texture, and is well oaked. Dry and balanced, and with 78,000 cases made, it will be easy to find. Best Buy. —S.H. ——S.H.(3/1/2003)—— 87
