Ava Grace is designed to be slightly less intense than the Reserve. It could be enjoyed immediately upon release or aged for many years and only improve. Made from Cabernet Sauvignon fruit from multiple blocks Ava Grace is 80%+ Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot making up the remainder, in most vintages. It is aged in 60% new French oak (and once-used Reserve barrels) for over 20 months.
