2007 Petite Sirah
93 points
"This is a big, potent, Incredible Hunk of a wine. It’s gigantic in wild, exotic blackberry, blueberry, mulberry, pomegranate, licorice, pepper and dark chocolate flavors, wrapped into firm tannins. Continues a near-perfect streak of ageworthy, dry Petite Sirahs from Girard." |

Thirty years after first planting its vineyards, Girard continues to produce wines reflecting the quality that has made Napa Valley the most famous New World wine-growing region in the world. Winemakers Marco DiGiulio and Zachary Long have expanded the winery's varietal focus from Chardonnay and Cabernet-based wines, to include Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. Additionally, Girard’s Cabernet line up has grown to include single-vineyard bottlings, such as Diamond Mountain and Pritchard Hill. As it has been in the past, Girard’s goal is to highlight the flavors of Napa Valley and its rich, ripe grapes. A small portion of the winery’s portfolio also comes from grapes grown in Sonoma County’s upscale Russian River Valley, where cool weather offers ideal conditions for Chardonnay.
