". . . this is one of Napa's most spectacular cabernets. It's complex, balanced, full-bodied with dark fruit and smoke interplays. A finish that goes on forever." April 2012

". . . Grgich's 2009 Chardonnay is a sumptuous, well-balanced wine. It's difficult to make a rich and toasty wine that doesn't tire or isn't in your face. But the Grgich team has done it-again. It truly has power and grace. Uplifting acidity keeps it fresh. Buy it. You won't be disappointed." November 2012

GRGICH HILLS ESTATE  

Grgich Hills Cellar was founded July 4, 1977 by Miljenko "Mike" Grgich and Austin Hills of the Hills Bros. Coffee family. Austin owned established vineyards and had an extensive business background, and Mike had just made his reputation as one of the world's great winemakers. In the now-historic 1976 Paris Tasting, Mike's 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay bested the top white Burgundies to win first place, shocking the international wine community. In 2007, Grgich Hills Cellar changed their name to Grgich Hills Estate in recognition of their wines being completely estate grown.

Grgich Hills Estate is committed to producing the world's finest estate-grown wines, known for their quality, consistency and longevity.  As stewards of the land, the vineyards are certified organic and Biodynamic® and the winery has also converted to solar power. In harmony with nature, Grgich Hills Estate wines are truly expressive of their terroir.

Growing grapes sustainably has always been a top priority at Grgich Hills. All of their vineyards are certified organic and farmed Biodynamically. This agricultural philosophy treats the Earth as a living organism and uses homeopathic preparations, cosmic rhythms, and nature's basic life forces to bring about balance between the grapevines and the Earth. Since 2006, the entire 366 vineyard acres have been Biodynamically farmed - this is the country's largest Biodynamic vineyard acreage.
