Too bad, I remembered this as a great wine but this bottle had lost its fruit and the alcohol kind of took over. We had it with shortribs. Lynn and T Nolan visiting. The 2010 next to it was a lot better and really spoke to us.

This was my first bottle of Gramercy Cabernet Sauvignon outside of tasting sips over the years-- and I liked it. I particularly enjoyed the slight pyrazine (green) accents, which could throw off blind tasters. Everything felt in place. Could maybe use a touch more complexity, but I couldn't stop sipping. Feels like it has plenty of life ahead. No idea if it will improve, but I'll try again in a few years.

(Gramercy Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley) Abundant red fruit aromas along with earth, a jumble of fresh herbs, pencil lead, and chocolate notes. The palate is medium-bodied, full of tart cherry flavors capped off by a long finish. 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. Phinny Hill, Portteus, Estate, Pepper Bridge, and Va Piano vineyards. 13.9% alcohol. 1,048 cases produced.
(Gramercy Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Vineyard Walla Walla Valley) Quite young but showing tobacco, cola, and a touch of meat aromas. Will be exceptional.

Delicious. In a great place. A more traditional Cabernet - not today’s modern fruit bomb. Will buy more.
