Grace Patriot Grace Patriot
From the California Sierra Foothills near the tiny community of Apple Hill, come the dynamic wines of Grace Patriot, produced from vineyards established in 2000 on land used for fruit production for over a century.
Proprietors Steve and Bea Grace, and winemaker Tyler Grace believe in letting the soil tell the story through the wines; the rich loam soils and gently sloping ridge-top exposure make for an ideal microclimate to create robust and flavorful wines.
Grace Patriot wines are distributed by Ronin Wines.
Small in production, the Grace Patriot Wines are big in Awards, with the accumulation of no less than three Gold Medals in 2007 alone.
