Jul 1st, 2018Full bright squeezed lemon, lemon custard, orange peel, citrus blossoms, soft elegant minerality, nice acidity and good finish. Better this time than the last.

Dec 24th, 2016First impression of the 2012 Grgich Hills Chardonnay—it's old-school and intense. Classic orchard fruit aromas are couched in flint and matchstick that hover like an electric storm over rather more tender notes of toasted walnut, brioche, and acacia honey. In the mouth, there's not an ounce of fat, it's lean with considerable energy and verve. There is smoothness, sure—but it's cleanly cut by lemon zest and white grapefruit pith, with minerally, toast notes emerging on the finish. 13.5% ABV | Sample

Feb 26th, 2016Divine. Totally different than previous vintage. Love the nose. Lots of floral notes all over the place.
