2023 Graciano
2023 Graciano
Graciano, a rare Spanish varietal, is prized for its deep color, floral aromatics, and vibrant acidity traditionally found in Rioja blends. In Santa Barbara’s Happy Canyon, warm days and cool evenings allow this grape to ripen fully while maintaining its natural freshness.

Awards
“More inward and darker compared to the 2022, the 2023 Graciano is based on 86% Graciano and 14% Grenache. Blackberries, peppery herbs, and floral, violet-like notes define the aromatics. It’s medium-bodied and concentrated, with terrific purity and ripe, integrated tannins. Aged 15 months in 41% new French oak 500-liter puncheons, it’s going to have 10-12 years of prime drinking. Drink 2025-2037.”
