Wow - amazing, strong, but certainly not overbearing. A great example of a Napa red.

See prior tasting notes. This might be one of the best bottles they have made. Given 2011 was such a soft vintage it really helps to lighten and lift this wine. The wine is all toasted strawberries and apricot/almond. Great mouthfeel and long finish with good balance in acid and tanins and fruits. pretty wine. nice work.

Must admit, one of the best mixed black wines I've had from the team at Girard. This wine (given the mix and lack of varietal separation at the vineyard) has a tendency to be SO overextracted and brooding that it gets undrinkable. But, the cool/soft vintage of '11 in Napa really helps this wine shine and be so approachable. Lighter in color and body than all the previous vintages I've had (08, 09, 10) and much more approachable. Real blast …

Not nearly as good as 2010 & 2009. Lacked concentration and depth as seen in previous vintages, although still okay. Very light bodied which I wasn't expecting for the Mixed Blacks. Decanted for hour which helped.
