The vineyard in Calistoga is the sole source of Zinfandel for this wine. It is co-fermented with a touch of Petite Sirah to add complexity and structure and then aged in large French oak casks so the flavours are well integrated but not overwhelmed by oak.
"Fresh and earthy, despite a complete embrace of ripeness, this complex red is lovely and memorable in a constructed blur of dried herb, wild strawberry and vanilla. The oak is integrated and supportive, helping to echo a delightful nuance of white pepper." 93 points, Wine Enthusiast
Mike Grgich - who found fame as the wine maker for Chateau Montelena's winning Chardonnay from the Judgement in Paris tasting of 1976 - was awarded Outstanding Wine, Beer or Spirits Professional by the James Beard Foundation in 2018. He continues at the age of 95 to turn out vintage after vintage of the finest Napa Valley wines at his Grgich Hills estate in Rutherford.
