Vineyard Notes
This Girard Mountain Cuvée Cabernet Franc allows us to showcase some of our treasured mountain vineyard sources and their expression of Cabernet Franc. For this cuvée, Cabernet Franc and a selection of traditional blending grapes were sourced from Diamond Mountain, and Mt. Veeder AVAs, with each appellation contributing something to
the overall blend. The Diamond Mountain fruit lends well-structured tannins and bold fruit while the cooler climate Mt. Veeder fruit lends complexity and vibrant acidity.
