Girard Winery
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon


Minerality, black and red fruit on the nose. Medium body, medium tannin, but earthy, minerality and fruity complexity.

Oh my lord. What an extremely balanced, smooth wine. The aroma/nose is perfect, youthful fruits and berries, oak; but the taste is where it's really at. Sublime, smooth, nothing prominent, nothing hidden, all of them sitting in a equal row, like an extremely high end pair of headphones, nearly clinical. High alcohol content, low viscosity, translucent ruby color, presence of gas. What an absolutely incredible wine -- and it's from California!!!

Overlooked and considered austere on release it's blossomed into something special.

Strangely there are two unmarked versions of this wine; one filtered the other not. I believe this to be the filtered version. The crunchy tannins have folded in and the pure cherry/cassis and menthol notes are in full display. Really good.
