  Still lovely, but the acid is now predominant, indicating that the fruit is fading. This was my last bottle and I wish I had bought more: the ultimate compliment.

  The more I drink my Gramercy wines the more I like them....kudos to my wine pusher at the time (Joe, at the Vineking) for recommending them to me way back when.
  
  I used to think I preferred the Cabs, but this bottle might have swung things back. Was just in the perfect spot...fully resolved tannins, lovely mature Syrah bouquet and so smooth.
  
  And most surprising of all, there was 1/2 glass left out overnight (don't wash fragile wine glasses last thing) and I took a sip out of curiosity before washing up and ended up drinking the whole lot...it was singing. Anything good enough to get me drinking breakfast wine is something I want more of...wish I had another 6 as I think these will last a little longer based on that overnight showing.

  Gramercy Cellars Syrah "Lagniappe" Columbia Valley Vertical Tasting (Seattle, Washington): Clear, opaque garnet – wild blackberry, black cherry, violets, tar, smoked meat, Oscar Mayer bologna, leather, earth, soy sauce, coffee, black tea, clove, oak. Medium acid, low tannins, 13.7% ABV, medium- body, medium finish. I would drink now, as I find it a little too tertiary for my taste.

  Pleasing aromas of ripe black cherries, roasted chocolate, bacon fat, and light pepper. The flavor profile is jammy, but I appreciate that the wine is not too concentrated or alcoholic. There is hardly any tannic weight. I find the wine too sweet and silly for my tastes, but others might like that it is so easy drinking.
