May 28, 2023 - A surprisingly elegant take on syrah for Gramercy, though perhaps it is bottle age rather than stylistic intent that is responsible. I picked a 3-pack up at auction last year for ~$17 each, so the bar was pretty low in terms of expectations. While no QPR hero, this was solid, and delivered a nice core of boysenberry fruit with some tapenade and coffee notes. I like my syrah a bit more wild--gamey and smokey à la Northern Rhone--and this was not that, but it was smooth and utterly drinkable. Faded considerably by day 2, so I'd recommend pop-and-pour and don't hold too much longer.

December 31, 2022 - Past its drinking window. No fruit left, all tertiary; wet basement, wet gravel, hints of coffee.

February 7, 2016 - In a beautiful place. Earthy with olive, coffee, dark fruit. Nice balance and mouthfeel.

3/31/2009 (link) ***** points(Gramercy Cellars Syrah Lagniappe Columbia Valley) An amazing blend of earth and the purest of berry aromas and flavors with a dash of cola mixed in. A long finish caps this special wine. Just keeps showing better over time. Note: This was an unreleased, unfiltered version of this wine.
