May 10th, 2017I'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.

Mar 3rd, 2016Medium bodied but full flavored! The Bordeaux varieties come together quite harmoniously with soft and supple finish. Always a fun wine to have around.

Nov 23rd, 2015Dark ruby rose. Metallic with sharp edges. Maybe it will find some balance in a day, but right now a disappointment.
