This classic Zinfandel exhibits lush, fruit-forward aromas of cherry, raspberry and candied orange with savory undertones of sandalwood and sweet licorice. On the palate, notes of juicy blood orange, plum, and ripe fig lead into vivacious tannins on the mid-palate with vibrant acidity. This Zinfandel’s balanced and elegant structure promises a long, graceful aging potential.
About Winery
Grgich Hills Estate was founded in 1977 by Croatian immigrant and world-renowned winemaker, Miljenko "Mike" Grgich, and Austin Hills of Hills Bros. Coffee fame, after Mike's Chardonnay at Chateau Montelena won the 1976 Paris Tasting. This landmark event, where a California wine beat top French wines, earned Napa Valley international recognition and inspired Grgich to pursue his dream of owning his own winery. Grgich Hills became known for producing high-quality, food-friendly wines using natural and sustainable farming practices, becoming a leader in the Napa Valley wine industry and achieving the prestigious Regenerative Organic Certification in 2023.
