Taste this wine Saturday, April 27th 1-4pm!
Force & Grace is a portfolio of wines founded by vintner Joseph Carr who, after creating Josh Cellars, continued following his passion for making the finest wines to exacting standards.
To create something truly remarkable, he partnered with critically acclaimed winemaker, Jean Hoefliger, who honed his skills at world-renowned wineries Château Lynch-Bages and Alpha Omega, among others. Jean's winemaking philosophy is to make wines which showcase the best appellations within Napa Valley, where fruit is picked at precisely the right moment to spotlight the balance between lush ripeness and clean acidity.
Our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from diverse vineyards across Napa, including Oakville, Oak Knoll, Rutherford, and south Napa. Selecting fruit from diverse sites, from warm and sunny areas in north Napa to cooler sites in south Napa results in a balanced, complex, and fascinating blend that truly represents this world-class wine region.
We hand-pick our fruit at night, sort the fruit at the winery to keep only the best berries, and age our wine for 18 months in 50% new French oak, lending oak sweetness and toastiness and enhancing texture as the wine subtly evaporates during aging.
This wine is bright, silky, and evolves as it lingers on the palate. Concentrated flavors of plum, dried cherry, blackberry fruit leather, and black tea are complemented by rich, silky tannins and integrated acidity. On the finish, notes of cedar, cacao, nutmeg, and licorice add subtle layers of complexity that lift and provide an elegant structure to the blend while offering a distinctly intense aroma to the nose.
2021 Force & Grace Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
"Fruit sources from the cool climates of Southern Napa contribute lifted herbal notes and violets, balanced by generous, warm dark berry fruit from up-valley sources. Medium to full-bodied, juicy blackberry and cherry woven around tobacco notes with fine-grained tannins and blood orange acidity through a lovely finish tinged with toasty baking spices. Estate vineyard sources are Sugarloaf Mountain in Napa, Big Ranch on Oak Knoll, and sources in St. Helena, Oak Knoll, and Beckstoffer George III in Rutherford and Colburn in Oakville."
