Girard Winery Cabernet Sauvignon NAPA

Girard Winery Cabernet Sauvignon NAPA aus Napa Valley, USA. An exceptional, deep red wine with aromas of black fruit, vanilla, cedar and the typical cigar box. With a palette of blueberries, mocha and leather, this is a rich wine with pronounced tannins for a long and especially ripe aftertaste.100% Cabernet Sauvignon from a high altitude vineyard with a volcanic subsoil. These conditions create a warm environment and result in full, ripe fruit that is clearly reflected in this rich wine. An excellent wine to accompany grilled red meat, especially an entrecôte with a hearty sauce.

Cabernet Sauvignon is best known in Bordeaux where, together with merlot and cabernet franc, it produces high-class wines. It needs a lot of heat to ripen, otherwise it will become green and juicy with a taste of green pepper. Too much heat makes it soft and jam-like, with a taste of blackcurrants. Cabernet Sauvignon produces very aromatic wines with scents of blackcurrant, vanilla, spices (pepper), tobacco, plum, cherry, toasted bread and cedar. The wines usually have a long shelf life, have a lot of tannin and in principle have to mature in barriques.
