    Gargiulo 2005 Five Seventy Five OVX G Major 7 Study Red (Oakville)

    Despite the silly name, this is a deeply impressive, but very young, Cabernet-based Bordeaux blend. It needs time in the cellar. It practically oozes ripe, pie-filling blackberries and cherries as well as sweet, smoky new oak. It's all primary flavor now, but very balanced, and should come into its own after 2010.
