Description
A handpicked blend of Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from vineyards located in Napa Valley's acclaimed mountain districts, this wine is a unique expression of Napa Valley. Rich, intense fruit balances complex tannins, a blend that is indicative of winemaker Glenn Hugo's style. Sourced from vineyards on Diamond Mountain, Spring Mountain, Howell Mountain and Atlas Peak, this “cuvee” of Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the uniqueness of these higher elevations.
Glenn Hugo
Winemaker, Girard Winery
After working at various smaller production facilities I joined Girard as an intern. I've worked my way up from that part time opportunity to every position in the winery and ultimately became the winemaker in 2011.
Country born: United States
Education: My winemaking experience is concentrated in Napa Valley and includes early assignments with Provenance Vineyards, where I learned from Napa legend Tom Rinaldi, and hands-on experience at Sedna Winery and FleuryWinery. As the General Manager of The Bounty Hunter Wine Bar in downtown Napa, I soon met Marco DiGiulio and continued my dream at Girard.
Years in the wine industry: 20-30 years
Winemaking Philosophy:
My philosophy is simple: wine is to be shared with friends and family; it is a living and breathing expression that constantly evolves and instills memories. With this in mind, my focus is to find balance in wine with fruit, acid and tannin. I think of wine as part of the dining table and hope to always make wines that can be enjoyed with food.
