Winemaker's Signature

2004 Russian River Valley 98% Tempranillo, 2% Grenache

Gallo Family Vineyards Winemaker's Signature is a captivating red wine that showcases the remarkable qualities of Tempranillo, beautifully blended with a hint of Grenache. Hailing from the renowned Russian River Valley, this vintage boasts a deep ruby color that hints at its richness. The body is well-rounded, offering a smooth and satisfying mouthfeel that makes it incredibly approachable. Its acidity is lively yet balanced, contributing to a refreshing quality that pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark cherry and plum, complemented by subtle notes of earthy spices and a touch of oak. The tannins are firm, providing structure and depth but remain soft enough to enhance the overall experience. This full-bodied wine is also dry, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate a nuanced, sophisticated flavor profile. This offering truly exemplifies the craftsmanship of the winemaker and the unique terroir of the Russian River Valley.

Sonoma County
Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
