David Girard Cabernet Sauvignon

While enjoying a expertly-crafted burger during an exciting day of college football on Saturday, we decided to open up our cellar and try out a David Girard Cabernet Sauvignon ($16). We tried the 2001 El Dorado, a full-bodied wine, and were very impressed. Dark aromas such as chocolate spill into a wine that has enough oomph to stand up to a steak, yet is delicate enough to be enjoyed with a nice filet of salmon, tuna, or swordfish. Smooth, complex, and not too big a burden on the wallet — all the things we look for in a wine.
