2012 vintage. Bordeaux blend. 59% cabernet sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot, 11% malbec, 9% cabernet franc and 8% merlot. Dark ruby. Cranberry nose, not very complex.Juicy fruit, fine acidity, drinking well, but could do with a bit more complexity and a little less oak. Abv. 14,9%.

I'm fairly new to Girard wines, but really quite fond of this cab blend. I've tasted the '11 as well and this seems to be a step above. Really opens nicely after a bit of a decant...medium bodied but full of great flavor.

Medium bodied but full flavored! The Bordeaux varieties come together quite harmoniously with soft and supple finish. Always a fun wine to have around.

Dark ruby rose. Metallic with sharp edges. Maybe it will find some balance in a day, but right now a disappointment.

Very good and flavorful general appeal blend - nothing exceptional but also good drinking.
