It's a fashionable, complex, and complete wine showing a deep ruby-purple in the glass and attractive aromas of spiced blackberries, kirsch, perfumed violets, cassis, and tobacco spices. Medium-bodied with compact, juicy dark fruits and firm, elongated, elegant tannins and iron-like minerality on the length finish.
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.
