Lot #1268. Grgich Hills Chardonnay Estate 2012

Description: Consists of 9 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 92 WW.
"One of California's most important Chardonnay producers! Why? The Chicago Tribune called the 1977 Grgich Hills "The Best Chardonnay in the World" That wine took 1st Place amongst 221 chards from around the world in an historic tasting in May 1980. Now back to the present, the 2012 Grgich Hills starts out with invitingly creamy, with a solid apple core notes; really excelling on the palate, with bright apple and mineral, this one delivers like few can. Drinks well now and will surely improve over time. I'd like this one with Rebecca's roast Fulton Valley Farms air chilled organic chicken. This would be a match made in heaven. Organically grown grapes with organically raised chicken." Wilfred Wong, Wine.com, May 19th, 2015
Provenance: The Cisalpine Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $225
