Gallica Red Wine Oakville Napa Valley 2017
Welp, we told you that 2016 wouldn’t last! Good on ya, if you got some, but I got to tell you, this 2017 is every bit as good! And the PRICE? Same $101 DOLLARS OFF! That’s over 56% OFF, friends!
Here’s the bad news… there’s even LESS than the 2016. Like one-third less. I never in a million years thought I’d be quoting The Avengers while waxing philosophically about wine – but here it goes… “a thing isn’t beautiful because it lasts.” So it is with this…destined to be gone faster than Nicolas Cage’s turn as Superman, this powerfully bright, spicy, edgy, and supremely delicious cabernet franc (with a dash of cab sauv) will only be around for the fastest 10% of you that read this (maybe less!). Jam-packed with red cherries, red plums, spicy Saigon cinnamon, and clove, plus a heaping of black olives and crunchy, wet slate minerality – this is a brawny, franc-y beast that is gorgeously wrapped in silky elegance. So unique, so delectable, and again – just a RIDONKULOUS value. Grab yours, QUICK!
p.s. – the quote is Vision from Age of Ultron.
Inspired by earlier work at prestigious properties in both Napa Valley and Bordeaux, wines were made and a brand grew. The philosophy is a simple one: to craft elegant single vineyard wines farmed organically which accurately depict the site and the story of each unique vintage. GALLICA makes Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Albariño, Syrah and limited bottlings of estate Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah. The brand symbol is a tribute to the ancient rose, their aromatics, and enhancement to winemaking. We love what we do and are fortunate to call Napa Valley home.

About The Producer
Gallica is nestled in the heart of Napa Valley amongst historic vineyards, coastal oaks, our gardens and olives. Heritage Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon are rooted in gravelly Cortina soils ambling off nearby Sulphur Creek. Our home is a handsome barn, contemporary and fresh, standing side by side with weathered vines. We strive to practice lightly touching the land from the tending of our vines, thoughtful winemaking methods, to the simplicity of our packaging, Winemaker Rosemary Cakebread’s vision for a wine of her own, eventually called GALLICA, grew slowly
