Grgich Hills Estate Napa Valley Chardonnay 2016
Grgich Hills has always been known for its outstanding Chardonnay, and the new Estate Chardonnay Napa Valley only bolsters that reputation. Grgich Hills Chardonnay is estate grown, meaning they control everything from the vineyard to the bottle. The grapes were grown organically at their American Canyon and Carneros vineyards, where the coolness allows the grapes to develop complex flavors while maintaining a pleasing natural acidity. They do not allow the Chardonnay to undergo malolactic fermentation. This preserves the wine's crispness and acidity to balance its concentrated fruit. The full-bodied, elegant Grgich Hills Chardonnay has fresh aromas of acacia and citrus flowers, honey and a touch of mineral.

A supremely well balanced Napa Valley Chardonnay which dances on the line of freshness and richness. Aromas & flavors of lemon zest, apricot, clove & baking spices with a solid backbone of acidity across the palate and med/long finish. A perfect pairing with seared salmon and lemon parmesan roasted broccoli! [11/15/23] ($37)

I rarely drink white wine, but this was a special occasion w/ both daughters in town. Grgich is a quality, consistent pour - most of all, I’ve had it thru the yrs & shared those memories w/ my girls. I guess I should rate the wine (9.2) but the nite was a 10. Keep in mind that all these wine ratings are more dependent on who we happen to be consuming with & the occasion.

Look, we all know that Mike Grgich is the king of chardonnay. But Remember that the true test of a wine is how it does with food and this is a miraculous wine to have with a meal. We had homemade pumpkin ravioli with a brown butter sage sauce and it was so perfect.  Open this bottle, cook something good and enjoy!
