2002 Aprile Super Oakville Red
Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
90 Points The 2002 Aprile admirably proves that not all California Sangiovese is innocuous. With loads of cherry and strawberry fruit, a full and fleshy mid-palate, long finish, attractive style and abundant character as well as soul, it is delicious for drinking now and over the next 3-4 years."

2002 Gargiulo Vineyards' Money Road Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon
Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
89 Points 3/05 "The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Money Road Ranch possesses depth and richness as well as fine length, and plenty of black currant fruit intermixed with notions of licorice, earth, and spice. Medium-bodied, round, and opulent, it will drink well for 7-8 years."

Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
87 Points 2.05 "The 2002 Money Road Ranch Merlot exhibits attractive, ripe black cherry, and chocolate aromas, firm tannin, good spice, medium body, and a moderately long finish. This elegant Merlot should be consumed in the next 5-6 years."

92 Points 6.05 "The first scent is like standing in a field of wild strawberries, and this wine's fragrant red fruit goes on to last. It's an elegant expression of merlot, clean, fresh and complete. The texture is almost delicate, while the wine itself has strength without excessive alcohol."
