Grgich Hills ZINFANDEL Napa Valley 2020 Organic 375ml HALF BOTTLE

Grgich Hills Estate | Zinfandel | Napa Valley, California | 2020 | Organic | 375ml Half Bottle

Grgich Hills Estate is one of Napa Valley's most storied and celebrated wineries, founded in 1977 by Miljenko "Mike" Grgich — the Croatian-born winemaker who famously crafted the 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay that defeated the finest white Burgundies at the legendary 1976 Judgment of Paris. Today, the estate is led by Mike's nephew Ivo Jeramaz and remains committed to the same principles that have defined Grgich Hills for nearly five decades: certified organic farming, minimal intervention winemaking, and wines of genuine elegance and aging potential.

All Grgich Hills vineyards have been certified organic since 2006 — a commitment to the land that translates directly into wines of exceptional purity and terroir expression. Their Napa Valley Zinfandel is sourced from estate vineyards and crafted in a balanced, elegant style that sets it apart from the jammy, over-extracted Zinfandels that dominate the market.

The 2020 exhibits lush, fruit-forward aromas of cherry, raspberry, blackberry, elderberry, and candied orange, with savory undertones of sandalwood, sweet licorice, and fresh herbs. On the palate, juicy blood orange, plum, and ripe fig lead into vivacious tannins with vibrant acidity and savory complexity. Balanced and elegant with a long, graceful finish — and genuine aging potential. Now available in a convenient 375ml half bottle.

Pair with grilled lamb, braised short rib, pizza, pasta with rich tomato sauce, and aged hard cheeses.
