Absolutely wonderful petite sirah that expresses both fruit and finesse. No real tannins to speak of. The community suggested that the drink window ended in 2019, and that appears to be significantly off. Am suggesting 2025 for this one. Received as a gift from good friends of ours, will have to seek out the winery in Yountville and check it out.

Enjoyed as an after dinner sipper with dark chocolate and a movie. Rich but mellow full fruit flavor. Much better than it remembered from some time ago. This has aged nicely - drinking well now, does not seem like it will improve more or decline precipitously.

Au printemps 2019, le personnel chez Girard à Napa m'a dit que je devais ouvrir ça rapidement.. Pour eux, ce vin devait être bu dans les cinq premières années. J'ai des nouvelles pour eux: ce vin était excellent et à point (légèrement rafraîchi). On retient le nez fruité, complexe et une bouche d'un beau poivré. Pas surpris de la bonne note du WS. Malheureusement bouteille unique.
