Attractive crunchy character with spiced pears, lemon pith, white tea, lemongrass and orange peel. It is full-bodied with creamy texture, vivid acidity and juicy crunchiness. It is both rich and fresh with a polished, mineral finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Grgich Hills Estate Napa Valley Chardonnay is 100% Chardonnay. It tumbles out with ready-to-go notes of grapefruit, green mango, and lime blossoms, leading to hints of baking bread and marzipan. Medium-bodied, the palate is vibrant and refreshing, with loads of citrus and tropical fruit flavors and a long, zesty finish.

Musky and meaty, this is a funky chardonnay that split the panel. There’s a pear-like purity to the end that cleans it up, leaving a rich and intriguing impression. Decant it for braised rabbit with parsnip cream.
