This was a WineBid purchase and I’m inclined to think the storage wasn’t great on this. There’s too much of a buttery sensation on the palate compared to the acid. It feels disjointed and heavy. The remaining fruit is overpowered by caramel and vanilla.
I’ve enjoyed several aged Gramercy wines so I want to believe this is just a poorly stored bottle.
Solid Cabernet! Coming from Washington, this was balanced, great black and brambly flavors, tannins in check, drinking quite well from the tasting portion. Lacking in intensity and finish, but this was a good wine. Can't see this getting much better with age, but it won't fall anytime soon.
