A Tribute to Grace Grenache 'Santa Barbara Co' 2024
CRITICAL ACCLAIM:
“Light ruby. Smells of strawberries, dried cherries, herbs and a hint of sawdust. In the mouth, fleecy, muscular tannins firmly grip flavours of strawberry jam, herbs and dried flowers. There™s a hint of astringency here, along with the herbal notes, that lingers in the finish. Very good acidity.” - 16.5, JANCIS ROBINSON (04/2026)
DISTRIBUTOR NOTES:
OVERVIEW: “Celebrating twelve vintages of the beauty we call Tuesday night grace, via three gorgeous corners of Santa Barbara County. A cooler spring followed by a warmer growing season created the most delightfully lignified stems we have seen in moons. Our whole cluster inclusion increased to 84%, and the layers of spice are further enhanced by 12 months èlevage in neutral french 220L and 500L puncheon. Representing vastly different expressions harvested over nine picks, across nine weeks: the Highlands with her 3200 feet elevation extremity and wide open skies, the Vie Caprice vineyard with 5’ x 4’ spacing amidst Santa Ynez horse country, and a new site for us nestled in the sun-shadow of Mt Refugio. The finished wine balances the earth and big-sky-nature of this beautiful valley we call home, via the abundance of 2024. Alongside all the quiet power that is so beautifully harnessed by my heart-grape in a vintage as great as this. (Practicing Organic)”
