92+ RP. The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon 575 OVX G Major 7 (806 cases produced) which comes from Gargiulo’s 575 OVX Vineyard, is composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. An intriguing nose of graphite, creme de cassis, spicy oak, licorice, and subtle hints of charcoal and hot pebbles is followed by a big, firmly structured, masculine Cabernet that offers good minerality as well as a certain Graves-like character. Give it 4-5 years of bottle age, and drink it over the following 20+ years. This trio of impressive Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines combine the best of Napa’s ripe, lavish fruit with the structure and aging potential of a top Bordeaux." Wine Advocate #186, Dec 2009 |
