Grace Family | Blank Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon | Red | 2011 | California - Vivino 4.7

Intro: The Grace Family Estate comprises less than three acres divided into two blocks just 300 feet apart. For such a small property, the variability of the soils between and even within blocks is astounding, imbuing the wine with energy and complexity. Both blocks are planted to the renowned Grace Cabernet Sauvignon clone.

Tasting Notes: Stephan Tanzer for Vinous 92 Points: “Good medium-deep red. Plum, redcurrant, eucalyptus and oregano on the nose. Not especially deep but lush and broad for the vintage, with good density to the flavors of redcurrant, mint and chocolate. Finishes with ripe tannins and good breadth. From a tiny crop due to poor weather during the flowering, and all the better for it.” (ST) May 2013
