Angela Osborne, the driving force behind A Tribute To Grace, is a passionate winemaker born in New Zealand. She is dedicated to crafting authentic expressions of Grenache.

The intention behind the winemaking is to capture the essence of grace itself and remain as closely connected to nature as possible.
"More masculine, savory, pepper notes emerge from the 2022 Grenache Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard, a medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, textured Grenache from this estate. Black cherries, licorice, roasted herbs, and pressed flower notes all define the aromatics, and it's nicely balanced, with beautiful richness and depth, supple tannins, and outstanding length. It's very much in the style of this estate and is beautifully done. This release comes from a higher elevation site located in the northeastern corner of Santa Barbara County and was 48% destemmed and raised in neutral barrels. Drink bottles through 2032."
