The Winery

Grgich Hills

Miljenko “Mike” Grgich first gained international recognition at the celebrated “Paris Tasting” of 1976. Then, in a now-historic blind tasting, a panel of eminent French judges swirled, sniffed, and sipped an array of the fabled white Burgundies of France and a small sampling of upstart Chardonnays from the Napa Valley. When their scores were tallied, the French judges were shocked: they had chosen the 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay, crafted by Mike Grgich, as the finest white wine in the world. Mon Dieu! The results stunned the international wine establishment and immediately earned Mike a reputation as one of the greatest winemakers in the world.

Tasting Notes

WS90
Full throttle Cabernet with a ripe core of cassis, currant, plum and cherry packed together with overtones of cedar, caramel and spice. Fleshy up front, then becomming tannic. Very fine balance. Beginning to show some bottle complexity.
