Grgić Vina was established in 1996 by legendary Napa Valley winemaker, Croatian-born Miljenko Mike Grgich, his daughter, Violet Grgić and his nephew Ivo Jeramaz. Dedicated to the art of winemaking, Mike started the winery to produce the finest wines from native Dalmatian grapes, and he concentrates on crafting Croatias very best varietals: Plavac Mali (red wine) and Pošip (white wine). The winery is located in Trstenik on the Peljesac peninsula, with a stunning view over the Mediterranean Sea, north of the historic walls of the port of Dubrovnik, in the Southern wine region of Croatia. Miljenkos PLAVAC MALI 1996 has been recognized twice as the BEST red Croatian wine on the market.Winery: Grgic Winery
Country: Croatia
Region: Dalmatia
Variety: Plavac mali
Category: Red wines
Bottle size: 0.75 L
Deep ruby color tinged with garnet. Distinctive aromas of muddled plum skins, mission fig, black cherry, and dried cranberries, with hints of Mediterranean herbs, sea salt and powdered limestone, and infused with sweet oak notes of chocolate. On the palate, the wine is a contradiction of rusticity and elegance: bold, somewhat course tannins give a rugged frame to a mouth feel that seems smooth, rich and lush all at once. Super ripe black fruits, dried fig, spice, anise and mocha notes coat the palate and linger on the finish. Bright acidity provides the vibrancy to give it lift and freshness, and the warm alcohol glow yields to the sun-baked flavors. Still young, the wine would benefit from a few years cellar time or 1-2 hours in the decanter prior to serving.
