This basket also contains Girard 2009 Petite Sirah Napa Valley and Girard 2010 Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley.

Petite Sirah: "The 2009 vintage Petite Sirah is an inky, dark, fruit-forward wine with aromas of baked black cherry tart, dark plum, Tahitian vanilla bean, anise and allspice; on the palate, there’s a balance of integrated, firm tannins and bright acidity with a soft, spicy and lingering finish."-girardwinery.com

Sauvignon Blanc: "A very clean, fresh and crisp Sauvignon Blanc; Lush aromas of citrus zest, pineapple and guava on the nose, while the palate exhibits grapefruit and lemon zest. A wonderful apéritif wine that pairs well with lighter white fish, green salads and goat cheese."-girardwinery.com
