Girard - Artistry Napa Valley NV

The 2007 vintage is deep crimson in color with aromas of dark cherry, dark plum and blackberry. There are also nuances of leather, toasted nuts and baking spices. On the palate, this firmly-textured wine offers a full-mouth feel with flavors of mocha/cherry truffles, blackberry tart and dark currants. The firm tannins are very well integrated, making the wine approachable at an early age. There are multiple layers to this complex blend that reveal themselves through decanting or by giving the wine time to open up in the glass.
