FEATURED PREMIUM WINE
Grgich Hill Wines
Miljenko "Mike" Grgich first gained international recognition at the celebrated "Paris Tasting" of 1976. There, 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 Mike's 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay as the finest white wine in the world. Mon Dieu! The results stunned the international wine establishment and immediately earned Mike Grgich a reputation as one of the greatest winemakers in the world.

Napa Valley:
4 Stars

Excellent (Restaurant Wine, Issue #75): "Complex and very well balanced, this Cabernet is somewhat toasty and oaky in style, yet has a good depth of fruit and a very long finish.

"5 STARS"
|
|
EXCEPTIONAL - Restaurant Wine, Issue #81- "Fleshy, somewhat oaky, and full bodied, this is an exceptional Cabernet, in a complex, toasty style. It has medium richness, good balance, and aromas/flavors reminiscent of plum, blackberry, smoky oak, vanilla, and tobacco."

Wine & Spirits, August 2002. 90 points - 2002 Beverage Testing Institute. A touch more elegant and refined than our extremely successful 1997 which won nine gold medals, this Cabernet has a seductive aroma that almost visibly wafts out of the glass to meet you like a genie out of its bottle. |

1999
Napa Valley:
92 points
|
|
Wine Enthusiast. 90 points - Connoisseurs' Guide. 90 points - 2003 Beverage Testing Institute. The 1999 vintage in the Napa Valley was blessed with plenty of summer sunshine and a lengthy harvest. These conditions allowed the grapes to stay on the vines longer than usual, thereby producing all the glorious flavors and aromas of perfectly matured grapes.

Our 2001 Cabernet displays Grgich Hills' trademark bouquet of intense cassis and cedar, followed by more subtle nuances of roses, licorice, and dried cherries.
