Antonio Galloni published his review of our 2016 Estate Cabernets today:
2016 "Kingly Project" 96+ Pts.
“The GRADE's 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Kingly Project pulses with energy. Here the flavors are precise and finely cut. White pepper, chalk, orange peel, crushed rocks and bright red stone fruits are all vibrant in the glass. This is another remarkable wine from The GRADE. The 2016 has become more focused and delineated over the last year, which adds to its considerable pedigree and personality.”
2016 "Serpent’s Back" 96 Pts.
”The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Serpent's Back is inky, rich and explosive. Gravel, smoke, lavender leather and licorice are some of the many notes that run through this dense, ample Cabernet Sauvignon. There is so much pure character here.”
2016 ‘Winfield Vineyard” 93+ Pts.
“The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Winfield Vineyard is powerful and dense in its first impression. Dark cherry, plum, lavender menthol, iron and savory notes infuse the 2016, adding layers of nuance to this poised Calistoga Cabernet.”
