From winery: "While Cabernet was not in our initial plans back in 2005, once we were introduced to some of the best Cabernet vineyards in Washington, we knew we had an amazing opportunity. Our style continues to be a medium bodied, acid driven wine with gravelly earth. In Spring 2006, we discovered a particular block of Cabernet grapes at //Pepper Bridge Vineyard// that we thought would make amazing wine. We also began a relationship with //Portteus Vineyard// which produces wonderful Syrah. In early 2007, we made yet another unexpected discovery of a little known vineyard above a very famous vineyard. Rumor had it Dick Beightol was raising eyebrows with his grapes at //Phinny Hill Vineyard//, directly above //Champoux Vineyard// in Horse Heaven Hills. After meeting Dick, we knew we needed his grapes to make our Cabernet. This vineyard is truly a special place for these grapes. While 2007 was a great vintage overall, we feel especially proud of our Cabernet which creates a whole that is much greater than the sum of the individual vineyards with whom we work."
"Gramercy Cellars’ 2007 Cabernet is a medium to full bodied wine driven by acid and earth. It’s an Old World wine with its roots in the New World. The first smells are of French herbs – rosemary, thyme and sage. Earthy aromas of gravel, pencil lead, chocolate and mushroom round out the nose, complemented by fruits of red currant, raspberry and fig. We are blown away by the length and elegance of this wine."
