Girard Winery
Mixed Blacks Napa Valley Red Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
My first "mixed blacks" wine, and hello gorgeous. Hard to identify what I'm working with in this blend but:
-fairly lengthy legs around the glass; medium plus body and pretty deep purple juice
-nose smells of smoky meats, black currants, hint of blueberries
-the wine finishes quickly, so not very tannic. Tastes of raspberry/blackberry pie
Always heard good things about Girard's Mixed Blacks wine, and I'm happy to report I'm in agreement. Easy drinking wine that does just find stand alone.

I felt it was a bit lighter than I was expecting.
