2018 THE FOUR GRACES WILLAMETTE VALLEY PINOT GRIS
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
“Beautiful bright aromas of ripe pineapple, Meyer lemon and honeysuckle flower mingle in the glass. The palate continues with fresh lemon and orange zest followed by a touch of smooth quince, which leads into a refreshing lingering acidity.”
2018 THE FOUR GRACES WILLAMETTE VALLEY PINOT BLANC
90 Points, Wine Enthusiast & 90 Points, Wine & Spirits
“The 2018 Pinot Blanc is bright and refreshing. Aromas of yellow peach and lemon zest mix with tropical fruit notes of pineapple and guava. The palate continues with juicy peach and Asian pear flavors. The bright fruit is complemented by refreshing citrus and mineral notes, which linger on the finish.”
2017 THE FOUR GRACES RESERVE PINOT NOIR, DUNDEE HILLS
90 Points, Wine Enthusiast
“Nuanced aromas of bing cherries, dried rose petals and white pepper set the tone. Juicy red plum and cherry with notes of sage highlighted in the background. Velvety soft tannins and a mild acidity add weight and balance.”
2016 SEBASTIANI CABERNET SAUVIGNON, ALEXANDER VALLEY
Top 100 Wines of 2019, Sonoma Magazine
“The 2016 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a deep ruby red in color with elegant aromas of dried cranberries, bergamot tea and vanilla wafer. Ripe and round tannins fill the mouth with flavors of black cherry, baking spices, and dried herbs. The finish lingers with bright berry fruit, loamy earth and a slight sweetness imparted by the oak. While appealing in its youth, this wine will age wonderfully over the next few years.” – David Nakaji, Winemaker

25 Splurge-Worthy California Reds, Food & Wine
