NEW RELEASE!
Gård Vintners
2007 Don Isidro Red
55% Cabernet Sauvignon/45% Syrah
750 ml
$20/bottle
Released: March 2010
242 cases produced
Notes from Winemaker Robert Smasne:
The 2007 Don Isidro is an expressive estate blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Syrah. It explodes in the glass with layers of ripe fruit, dark berries, toffee, cedar and sweet oak. These continue on the tongue where the Syrah provides lush, upfront softness that is backed by the Cabernet's boldness and structure. The two marry together to create a wine full of fruit, body and depth.

2007 Cabernet Sauvignon
750 ml
$33/bottle
Released: January 2010
144 cases produced
Notes from Winemaker Robert Smasne:
Following in the footsteps of our 2006 vintage, the 2007 Gård Cabernet Sauvignon from our estate, Lawrence Vineyards, was aged in 100% new French oak barrels, and features a brighter, more complex Cabernet in comparison with 2006. Rich with fruit, the wine is lush and chewy. The ripe berry flavors lead to notes of chocolate, coffee beans, toffee and hints of smoked tobacco that are wrapped around well-managed tannins and new oak. The wine finishes bold, with round complexity. |

Released winter 2009
327 cases produced
RATED 90 POINTS BY WINE ENTHUSIAST
Notes from Winemaker Robert Smasne:
At 1,675 feet elevation, this block of Riesling has some of the most picturesque views of the Royal Slope. Barrel fermented in neutral oak and aged 8 months sur lees, the wine has a rich blend of scents and flavors. It's lush yet delicate, with concentrated depth and well-balanced acidity. Honeysuckles, flower blossoms, lemon tarts, and jasmine lead the way to a burst of honey, toasted almonds and sweet fruit flavors. |
