A passionate Calgary collector of primarily US wine. All purchased on release and stored in a 600 bottle Vintage Keeper in his home. Wine is being sold as the collector is moving to Napa, CA and does not want the expense of bringing wine into the US.
The tasting note for 2003 Grace Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleyis from Robert Parker - Healthy deep red-ruby. Aromas of raspberry, red cherry, flowers and tarry oak. Juicy, minerally and firm, with very good palate coverage but no undue weight. The floral element lifts the wine's red berry fruits. The fruit benefited from long hang time in 2003, noted winemaker Gary Brookman, who added that the percentage of Taransaud barrels used at Grace has been raised from 20% in 2001 to two-thirds in 2004. Perhaps less aromatic today than the 2002, but these tannins are a bit suppler.
