Chardonnay, Napa Valley

This year Mike Grgich celebrates his 50th year as a winemaker, 30 of which have been for his own label Grgich Hills. In honor of this occasion we are now offering the current release of his Grgich Hills Chardonnay in all of our restaurants.


This is the first vintage that our Chardonnay is estate grown, meaning we control everything from the vineyard to the bottle. The grapes were grown organically at our American Canyon and Carneros vineyards, where the coolness allows the grapes to develop complex flavors while maintaining a pleasing natural acidity. We do not allow the Chardonnay to undergo malolactic fermentation. This preserves the wine's crispness and acidity to balance its concentrated fruit. Our full-bodied, elegant Chardonnay has fresh aromas of acacia and citrus flowers, honey and a touch of mineral.
