(aging in 80% new Taransaud and Sylvain barrels) Deep, bright ruby-red. Highly complex aromas of raspberry, blackberry, boysenberry, mocha, minerals, tobacco and sexy, smoky oak. Broad and dense but airy, with lovely mineral lift to the berry and chocolate flavors. This rather powerful and highly promising wine finishes with serious, chewy tannins and excellent length. Winemaker Gary Brookman noted that the team here dropped crop three times but still brought in 13 tons of fruit for 3 acres; the...

Bright, saturated ruby-red. Deep aromas of black fruits, violet, tobacco, licorice, minerals, nuts and earth. Lush, rich and sweet, with an intriguing smoky character and lovely lightness for a wine with so much breadth and volume. Unusually powerful and deep for this bottling; complex and distinctive. In a rather Old World style, with complex soil tones currently dominating primary fruitiness. Finishes broad and dry, with very lush, fine tannins. A superb vintage for this estate.

Rated 91-93 - Good ruby-red. Aromas of blackcurrant, licorice, flowers and sexy, spicy oak. Sweet but youthfully tight today, with a distinctly brisk character to its flavors of currant, dark cherry, flowers and mint. Today the spicy oak element is obvious, but this firmly structured wine boasts lovely depth of fruit and excellent length. - Stephen Tanzer - Grace Family Vineyards Grace Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 750ml United States California Napa Valley St. Helena - St. Helena St. Helena

With the motto of wine acting as "a catalyst for healing our planet", they have donated the sales from the wine sold to support the Grace Family Foundation.

Deep red-ruby. Intriguing aromas of botanical herbs, dried flowers, mint and shiso leaf, with some intrusive nutty oak; this reminded me of a old-style Italian red.Then suave in texture, with good richness but also a firm edge to the flavors of cassis, kirsch and nutty oak.Falls down a bit on the finish, where the dusty tannins turn a bit dry. Lingering notes of licorice and dark chocolate. This seemed fresher and fuller in barrel last winter. ST

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within...

Aromas of blackcurrant, maraschino cherry and toasty oak lifted by a floral topnote. Sweet and fat in the mouth, with red berry flavors complemented but not overwhelmed by notes of oaky torrefaction. Finishes persistent and aromatic, with very sweet, gentle tannins. 90-92 points

There are 110 cases of the 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon from this well-known site on the west side of Route 29, north of St. Helena. Its dark purple color is accompanied by aromas of lead pencil shavings, pure black currants, vanilla, and licorice. The wine is medium to full-bodied, with good underlying acidity, firmness, and an elegant, restrained, structured feel. It will be at its finest between 2005-2017.
