Girard Winery - new releases, great prices




2011 Girard Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa County, 750ml
2011 Girard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa County...$18.99
Compare to $35 at Girard Winery
Aromas of blackberry and cassis are complemented by espresso and toasty oak. Sweet raspberry, mocha, and vanilla lead to a finish that is long and structured but softens as the wine decants.


2012 Girard Chardonnay Russian River Valley...$14.99
Compare to $27 at Girard Winery
An elegant nose of citrus, pear, and butterscotch leads to apple, fresh cream, brown sugar and cinnamon on the palate. Bright acidity keeps the fruit and oak balanced and makes it a very food friendly wine.

2012 Girard Old Vine Zinfandel Napa Valley...$16.99
Compare to $27 at Girard Winery
Our popular Old Vine Zinfandel is flourishing with notes of raspberry and cherry, while the palate expresses rich flavors of warm spice and vanilla bean. The spice notes are essential to round out the finish with bright fruit and acidity.
Winemaking: This wine was sourced from century old vines at the Godward Vineyard in Calistoga, as well as the Morgan Vineyard and Harris Ridge Vineyard in Napa. Due to the bountiful 2012 harvest, the grapes supplied balanced ripeness and acidity, complemented by intense fruit flavor.
Food pairing: Enjoy this Zinfandel with a grilled flank steak with olive and herb sauce.

Aging potential: Drink now through 2020
