Grace Family | Cabernet Sauvignon | Red | 2010 | 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 91 Points: “Bright, deep red-ruby. Rather cool aromas and flavors of crushed black cherry and licorice accented by mint and herbs. Quite backward and youthfully medicinal, even a bit clenched, showing the cool side of the vintage (this vineyard was harvested on October 25, according to Dick Grace).” (ST) May 2012
