Morimoto Dream

Napa Valley Chardonnay

The Grgich Hills Estate Morimoto Dream is an exquisite Napa Valley Chardonnay that truly encapsulates the sophistication of this renowned wine-growing region. This wine exhibits a radiant golden hue that is nothing short of mesmerizing. On the nose, it presents a symphony of lush tropical fruits, think pineapple and mango, harmoniously balanced with notes of green apple and citrus blossoms. As you take a sip, the wine unfurls layers of complexity with flavors of ripe pear, toasted almonds, and a hint of vanilla bean, derived from its elegant oak aging. It possesses a well-rounded full body with bright, lively acidity that keeps the palate refreshed and endlessly intrigued. The mouthfeel is luxurious and silky, leading to a long, satisfying finish. Grgich Hills Estate has, over the years, consistently earned accolades for its winemaking prowess, and this Chardonnay, a collaboration with famed chef Morimoto, is no exception. It showcases why Napa Valley's Chardonnay is celebrated globally, marrying tradition with innovation in each handcrafted bottle. Whether paired with gourmet cuisine or enjoyed on its own, this wine delivers a remarkable experience that speaks volumes of its impeccable quality and heritage.

Napa Valley

Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.
