In 1976, Dick and Ann Grace moved to Napa from Orinda. Dick Grace planted some cuttings from Bosche Vineyard on his land and harvested his first grapes in 1978. The first wine was made at Charlie Wagner’s Caymus Winery. It was not long until there was a huge demand for Grace Family Cabernet Sauvignon. The Graces did not plan to own one of the great vineyards in California, but once they realized the land’s potential, every ounce of their energy went into producing the best wine possible. Dick Grace was one of the first vintners in California to space his vines close together. This has been done in Europe for generations to force vines to compete for resources.
This deep, full-bodied, multi-layered wine is the essence of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon - displaying rich layers of cassis, black and red fruit, asian spice and smoke.
