A delight to drink. Not an oak/butter bomb. Round mouth feel with peach, lush citrus fruits & mineral, citrus finish.

Love this Chardonnay with light French touch by one of California's iconic winemakers. A kiss of oak---just right.

First date with Grgich Hills. Clean and buttery but not a lot of oak. Absolutely enjoyed this and now planning on going steady

Not your typical California big buttery/oaky Chardonnay. It has Great balance with a little bit of citrus minerality.

Excellent- well balanced and simply delicious. A terrific start before Christmas Day. 2011 vintage on December 21, 2016.

Finally starting to spend more than $20 on wine. This was a good Chardonnay that paired will with a sushi lunch. Definitely one to impress some friends.

Full flavor and beautiful color. Will buy again.

I know this has good ratings, but every time I open one I wish I hadn't bought any. I still have a couple left from when I visited the vineyard and I'm really not looking forward to them. Too much oak, and now I think it's showing a bit of age, nothing like what I expected from the maker of a legendary wine.
