Tasting notes
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon emerges from the upper blocks on the estate. It is a fabulous wine that captures all the pedigree of this St. Helena site. Towering in stature, the 2018 possesses tremendous balance and class. Black cherry, gravel, crushed rocks, spice, lavender and chocolate all build in the glass. The 2018 needs time to soften, but it is super-impressive. This a tremendous showing from Grace.

Even better, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is also 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and is brought up in 100% new oak. It's a denser, more concentrated, masculine wine and has impressive darker currant fruit as well as notes of graphite, scorched earth, chocolate, and lead pencil. With tons of mid-palate depth, more minerality, building tannins, and a great finish, it's going to need 5-7 years and will keep for 30+ years.
Such beautiful aromas of blackcurrants, sage and flowers. Black raspberries and blackberries, too, as well as mineral undertones. Full-bodied with a superb, very fine and dusty tannin texture. The tannins are really fine and manicured. Very cool, with a long, long finish. 150 cases made and only from the upper part of the vineyard. Drink in 2025 and onwards.
