Grace Family Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 (750ML)

95 Points, Jonathan Cristaldi, Decanter: "Winemaker Helen Keplinger ages this Cabernet Sauvignon for 21 months in 65% new French oak, with all fruit sourced from estate vineyards in St. Helena at the base of the Mayacamas. This wonderfully attractive and polished Cabernet Sauvignon showcases luscious dark berry fruit interwoven with rich toasty cedarwood and tobacco notes. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, it is framed by muscular, firm tannins that support the concentrated dark berry fruit character. This Napa Cabernet has a remarkable polish and elegance, complemented by a beautiful fruit sweetness and warmth from the vintage. These elements balance the savoury cedar, wild herb, and pressed floral notes on the lengthy finish—a refined and expressive wine." 01/25

97 Points, Jim Gordon, JamesSuckling.com: "The latest vintage of Napa's original cult cabernet. Lush, generous aromas of turned earth, creme de cassis and tobacco backed by beautiful blackcurrant and black cherry flavors. It's deep, structured, layered and complex. A super wine from a challenging vintage. It's made from organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2030." 02/25

95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "Leading off the 2022s, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is also beautiful, with a more round, broad, layered style. Black raspberries, dried flowers, tobacco, and sandalwood notes all shine in the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, layered, elegant mouthfeel, and soft tannins. This upfront, supple, balanced 2022 will have 10-15 years of prime drinking." 01/25
