Grgich Hills Estate is back and better than ever! 94WE with “a heritage aura, like a great Cabernet from the 1980s”!

Their return signals a triumph of epic proportions, and we are proud to bring you this beauty at the BEST PRICE ON THE INTERNET!

Have you seen Bottle Shock THE movie about the historic 1976 Judgement of Paris? If you have, you know the winner of the white wines was crafted by none other than Miljenko Grgich (Mike to his friends) when he was at the helm of Chateau Montelena. If you have not, as a wine-lover you OWE it to yourself and the founding fathers of the California fine wine scene to see it AND pair the experience with another bottle of historic origins. We guarantee a much, much better viewing experience, and the wine will taste even better too!

The depth of Grgich Hill’s place in history is undeniable. So much so that the bottle that Mike Grgich (it’s cool, we’re tight) crafted was added to the list of 101 Objects That Made America by The Smithsonian Institute right next to the first barbie and Plymouth Rock. This year the man, the myth, the legend turns 100 years old, and he is still rocking things Napa Valley style with his daughter Violet Grgich leading the winery into the next generation and his nephew, Croatian-born Ivo Jeramaz, managing day-to-day operations as winemaker.

The wine itself is like a textbook entry for premium Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Juicy and layered, or “full bodied, rich and ripe” as the review notes. This wine is just now in its infancy. It will absolutely evolve and mature over time so (pro tip) be sure to grab a case and stick around for the ride. Aromas of cassis and blackberry dance alongside spice and tobacco notes. On the palate, rich chocolate, bay, and fresh cedar wrap around perfectly structured tannins. The finish lingers for days and helps you ponder its unquestionable ability to age.

There is not much else to say about such a legend at this price except, don’t wait. They just don’t make them like this anymore and when they do, you can’t afford it.

94 Points – Wine Enthusiast -

”Black cherries, black olives, currants and a touch of black pepper come with firm tannins and a hearty, grippy mouthfeel in this full-bodied, classically styled wine. The wine has a heritage aura, like a great Cabernet from the 1980s, and will no doubt age well through at least 2033..”
