About Grace Family Vineyards

Dick and Ann Grace planted their first acre in St. Helena in 1976 with Cabernet Sauvignon cuttings from the famed Bosché vineyard, and made their debut 1978 vintage at Caymus, where Charlie Wagner reportedly called the fruit 'damned fine.' Grace Family became one of Napa's original cult Cabernets and the first American winery to use 'family' in its name, despite phylloxera and oak-root fungus forcing a full replant in 1995 that dropped production to just 48 cases in 1996.

Today the estate farms organically and biodynamically across two St. Helena properties, producing roughly 1,000 cases a year focused almost entirely on Cabernet Sauvignon, plus the Reliquus blend introduced in 2016. Dick and Ann sold the winery to the Green family in 2019; Kathryn Green now owns it, with Helen Keplinger as winemaker since 2014. Both the Grace Estate and Cornelius Grove bottlings have since earned perfect 100-point scores.

Grace Family rebuilt from 48 cases in 1996 to a 1,000-case cult Cabernet with two 100-point wines.

True cult-wine pedigreeGrace Family is widely cited as one of Napa's first cult wineries and the first US winery to put 'family' in its name.
Deliberately tinyProduction sits around 1,000 cases a year, all Cabernet-focused, farmed biodynamically.
New ownership since 2019Founders Dick and Ann Grace sold to the Green family; Kathryn Green now owns the estate.
"A legitimate, still-operating cult Cabernet producer, access is allocation-only, so treat any advertised tasting or price as unverified until confirmed directly."
