Sauvignon Blanc

2016 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc

The Girard Sauvignon Blanc from the esteemed Napa Valley is a delightful expression of this beloved varietal, showcasing a vibrant and refreshing personality. Its pale straw color invites you into a world bursting with aromas of zesty citrus, ripe melon, and a hint of herbal undertones, all of which tantalize the senses. On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied with a crisp acidity that ignites a mouthwatering experience, making it incredibly food-friendly and perfect for warm-weather gatherings. The fruit intensity is prominent, delivering bright flavors of grapefruit and green apple, balanced by subtle notes of passion fruit. With its dry finish, this Sauvignon Blanc embodies the essence of California's sunshine, offering a beautifully crafted example of Napa Valley winemaking at its finest.

Napa Valley

Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.
