Then, in a now-historic blind tasting, a panel of eminent French judges swirled, sniffed, and sipped an array of the fabled white Burgundies of France and a small sampling of upstart Chardonnays from the Napa Valley. When their scores were tallied, the French judges were shocked: they had chosen the 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay, crafted by Mike Grgich,  as the finest white wine in the world. Mon Dieu! The results stunned the international wine establishment and immediately earned Mike a reputation as one of the greatest winemakers in the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-tabs wc-tabs-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-labelledby=\"tab-title-vineyard\" role=\"tabpanel\" id=\"tab-vineyard\" class=\"woocommerce-Tabs-panel woocommerce-Tabs-panel--vineyard panel entry-content wc-tab\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur 34-acre vineyard, which is located above Calistoga, is  the  warmest  of our  five vineyards  and is the sole source of our Zinfandel. Its northeast exposure catches abundant morning  sun  but  is  shaded  from the hot, late  afternoon  sun  and  combined with the vineyard’s gravelly loam soil, creates the perfect spot to grow  this  varietal.  We farm all of our vineyards naturally, without artificial pesticides or  herbicides,  and  they are certified organic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_with_border et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_0 et-animated et_had_animation\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-tabs wc-tabs-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-labelledby=\"tab-title-the-wine\" role=\"tabpanel\" id=\"tab-the-wine\" class=\"woocommerce-Tabs-panel woocommerce-Tabs-panel--the-wine panel entry-content wc-tab\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFresh red fruit aromas of blood orange, sour cherry and cranberry commingle with savory cardamom and clove, hinting to the intriguing core to follow.
