Grgich Hills Estate Napa Valley Chardonnay 2019

$48

  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.

The “King of Chardonnay” Mike Grgich farms w/o pesticides and certified organic. Aged 10 months, no MLF. Medium lemon color with aromas of stone & citrus fruits. On the palate flavors of apple, pear & lemon citrus flavors, with honeysuckle, vanilla & toasty oak notes. Nice balance with acidity on long finish with a toasty mineral ending. Not your typical CA Chard, very nice!

Pale lemon with complex aromas of fresh ripe citrus and tropical fruits with grassy floral notes. On the palate flavors of peach, grapefruit and melon with lemongrass and floral herb notes. Long finish ending with juicy fruit, herb and grassy citrus notes, lively acidity with mineral character. Outstanding! Will reward with a few years of age!

Lemon / pear on the palate. Less oak than in the past (a good thing) so a cleaner Chardonnay. February 2023.

Extremely fruit forward. Melons and pears. Pretty much fruit cocktail throughout with subtle acidity. Probably needs some age.
