ANTONIO GALLONI 97 POINTS - "Rosemary Cakebread is one of the most understated and thoughtful winemakers in Napa Valley. These wines speak for themselves."
"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch is silky, polished and remarkably elegant. Crushed flowers, spice, lavender and a touch of mocha all grace this exquisite, nuanced Cabernet Sauvignon. All the elements are so well balanced. Silky tannins and perfumed floral notes wrap it all together. Today, the 2021 is a bit compact, perhaps because of the high amount of Franc in the blend, but it gains freshness with air."
JEB DUNNUCK 97 POINTS - "There are two Cabernet Sauvignons from Gallica, both of which are made by Rosemary Cakebread. Starting with the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, it checks in as a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Cabernet Franc. Blackcurrants, ripe tobacco, cedary herbs, violets, and hints of black olives all emerge on the nose, and this beauty is medium to full-bodied, with a pure, layered, elegant mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. It's a classic Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon that can be drunk any time over the coming 15-20 years. I love it even today."
