Girard Artistry 2006
Size: 750ml
Our 2006 Artistry is a
proprietary blend of 5
Bordeaux-varietal
grapes. The varietals
and percentages will
change from year to
year, with a goal of
keeping the wine
consistent in quality
and style.
The 2006 vintage is a
dark, ruby red wine with
aromas of kirsch, dark
plum, raspberry, sugar
cookies and nutmeg.
There are also hints of
herbal tea, saddle
leather, and toasted
walnuts. On the palate,
this firmly-textured
wine offers a full-mouth
feel with flavors of
chocolate/cherry
truffles, blackberry
tart and 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.
The blend consists of
59% Cabernet Sauvignon,
13% Cabernet Franc, 13%
Petite Verdot, 8% Malbec
and 7% Merlot. 100% Napa
Valley fruit coming from
Oakville, Yountville and
St. Helena, using a
combination of hillside
and valley floor
vineyards. Total cases
made: 5,600.
Price $49.99
