title: Girardet 2011 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon (Umpqua Valley)
description: Light red fruits with a suggestion of mint carry notes of leather, cedar and smoke. The blend includes 10% Merlot, and the wine spent 24 months in French oak, 15% new. Complex and balanced, with a streak of black olive, it's not a big wine, but well made and ready to drink.
