Three of the past four vintages of Grâce — and four times in the history of Platinum Awards — have gone Platinum. Such success is a tribute to owner/winemaker Don Corson and his Right Bank-inspired work with the Merlot-led Bordeaux blends and years of collaboration with growers such as Kent Waliser of Sagemoor’s Bacchus, Dionysus and Gamache vineyards. It’s a remarkable interplay of Old World approach and new French oak that’s revealed with coffee house scents, cassis, green bell pepper and eucalyptus. Bing cherry joins them on a palate that’s smooth and delicious with buttery caramel, rosemary and cinnamon. Qualifying award: Sunset International (gold)
