Grace Family Vineyards Cornelius Grove Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 (750ML)

18.5+ Points, Samantha Cole-Johnson, JancisRobinson.com: "Full bottle 1,350 g. Matured 21 months in French oak, 65% new. Deep purple. Where the Grace property is earthy, the Cornelius Grove is spicy and floral with a leafy freshness to the nose. Dense, plush black fruit with heaps of rounded velvety tannin and fresh acidity. Not nearly ready but already singing! Such length and depth to the palate! (SCJ) (Drink between 2028-2048)" 04/25

95 Points, Jonathan Cristaldi, Decanter: "The 2022 Cornelius Grove is a single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon nestled in the foothills of the Mayacamas behind St. Helena. Crafted by winemaker Helen Keplinger, it is aged 21 months in 65% new French oak. Fantastically suave and energetic, this wine opens with bright, upfront dusty mineral character intertwined with black currant and fig paste. Supple tannins frame a juicy palate, delivering dark berry fruit and culminating in a long, elegant, and beautifully balanced finish—a refined and vibrant expression of its exceptional vineyard site. (Drink between 2025-2036)" 01/25

98 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "A brilliant and balanced wine that opens with gorgeous, vivid red fruit on a firm, fine-grained texture. Aromas of raspberries, red cherries, bay leaves and blackcurrants lead to juicy black cherries and forest floor flavors with a mineral, almost iron character in the finish. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2030." 02/25

95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "Crème de cassis, new leather, red plums, smoked tobacco, and spicy nuances all emerge from the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Cornelius Grove, a medium to full-bodied, broad, layered, pretty 2022 that has soft yet present tannins, terrific balance, and a great finish." 01/25
