Girardet is a pioneer in this variety on the West Coast. We have been producing it since 1991, and each vintage is gaining in depth and excellence. Baco Noir was developed in the Armagnac region of Bordeaux by Francois Baco. It is one of the French cultivars that has the greatest promise to be produced as a varietal. Because of its unique, attractive flavor, this wine is in great demand.

Tasting Notes:  
Displays a deep crimson color with great legs.  Sweet, vibrant aromas of sun ripened fruits with a little toasted vanilla.  Silky fruit flavors build slowly and then linger on with toasty, spicy flavors in the finish.  Incredibly drinkable with a luscious mouth feel.  Moderately oaked.  Try with pastas, spicy meats, or a chocolate & berry fondue!

Drink from 2007 through 2012
