Girard Artistry Napa Valley Red 6 / Case
$31.55
Winemaking notes in spite of the drought and the south napa earthquake we consider the 2014 vintage in napa valley a recent favorite vintage of high quality with depth of flavor and excellent character. Even with drought concerns the weather was near perfect and we were fortunate to have a decent size crop. Mountain fruit specifically came in at an even pace and with well developed fruit character and bright acidity. Vineyard notes we source cabernet sauvignon for this blend from st. Helena oakville diamond mountain and pope valley areas offering dark fruit and well-integrated tannins. Merlot from yountville and rutherford lend lush fruit components while our primary sources for cabernet franc and petit verdot from pope valley allow for longer hang time. Our petit verdot tends to be our last fruit brought in allowing for complex character and tannin development while the yountville malbec adds mid-palate weight and juiciness. These grapes come from both hillside and valley floo
