Girard Artistry 2012
59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot, 11% Malbec, 9% Cabernet Franc, 8% Merlot
Vineyard Notes
We source Cabernet Sauvignon for the Artistry blend from St. Helena, Oakville and Pope Valley. These regions are well known for offering dark fruit and well-integrated tannin structure. Our Merlot and Malbec are sourced from Yountville, Carneros and Rutherford while our Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot come from the slower ripening Pope Valley region. Our Petite Verdot tends to be the last fruit brought in, allowing for very complex character and tannin development. Merlot from Carneros & Rutherford lends to the lush fruit components, while the Malbec from Yountville adds mid-palate weight.
Wine Spectator 2015
Bordeaux-like, offering a mix of density and restraint, this features a core of chewy blackberry, mineral, cedar, cigar box, licorice and roasted coffee notes. Ends with taut, gripping tannins and good length. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Merlot. –JL
