Girard 2009 Mixed Black 750ml

"Believed to be Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Syrah, Grenache, Mouverde and other red and white varietals.  The century-old vines are planted in a field blend style with various Rhone varietal and Zinfandel vines interspersed throughout the vineyard blocks.  The grapes are harvested at the same time and processed in a co-fermentation style with everyone jumping into the pool at the same time.  The resulting product is a wonderful old-world, field blend style wine.  Extracted and aromatic with well structured tannins, our 2009 vintage is a medium-bodied mouthful of dark chocolate, ripe plums and cassis with hints of vanilla extract, molasses and toasted tobacco." - Winemaker's Notes
