Tasting - Girard Cabernet Sauvignon


Name: Girard
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Napa County
Country: USA
Year: 2009
Price: $14.95 (originally $30)

Showcases the forward, ripe fruit and fine, polished tannins for which the Napa Valley is most prized. The initial aromatic notes are of ripe red fruit and spicy oak. The flavors on the lush palate follow suit, while the finish underscores the high quality of the fruit from which this wine was made. Enjoy it now, but know that this Cabernet will continue to improve with proper aging for another 8 to 12 years. 

This wine had woody yet fruity scents. It was smooth to drink and had a spicy aftertaste with a hint of oak
