January 23, 2020 - A Taste of Washington Wines w/Rasa focus (Our apt): I'd had a French version of this grape earlier in the week with sushi and loved the pairing and so was interested to see how it stands on its own. There's a hint of almost sourness here that when paired with food works super well, but without food a bit less obvious. Nicely made wine though. Will keep our next bottle for a meal.

August 2, 2018 - Solid bottle - very neutral. Lots of citrus and acid, but didn't really evoke anything beyond some citrus and acid. Reminded me of a middle of the road pinot grigio

July 25, 2018 - Lots of citrus! Lemon peel, little grassy, lots to like on a hot summer evening.

June 26, 2018 - Less minerality and more fruit than its French counterparts, however still sings with seafood.

January 18, 2018 - Light aromas of lemon white peach, and green apple. The palette is light with citrus fruit, more green apple and racing acidity with staying power. Some delicate flavors and certainly thirst quenching without a whole lot to think about.

Full Pull Gramercy, 5/31/2017(Gramercy Cellars Picpoul) Hello friends. As long time list members know, Full Pull’s relationship with Gramercy dates back as far as Full Pull itself. During Paul’s first research trip for Full Pull, back in summer 2009, when this whole list was still just a dream some mathematician-turned-blogger from Philly had, Greg’s warm hospitality and professionalism set him apart. Well, his warm hospitality, professionalism, and ridiculously good wines set him apart. For our new list members who aren’t as familiar with Gramercy, I’ll let them explain: Gramercy Cellars is an 8,000-case winery founded in 2005 by Master Sommelier Greg Harrington and his wife, Pam, to make Rhône and Bordeaux based wines in Washington State. We believe that great wines share common traits: great vineyards, small production, minimalist winemaking, time, and patience. Gramercy’s philosophy is simple: to develop or partner with the best vineyards, harvest ripe, not overripe, grapes, intervene minimally in the winemaking process, and use as little new oak as possible. The resultant wines display balance, intense fruit notes, strong earthiness, restraint, and elegance. Our wines often require time to develop, but reward that with patience. We seek to produce wines that complement food, provide great pleasure, and stand out as uniquely made in Washington. In many ways, Gramercy and Full Pull have grown together over the last (almost) decade. We’ve always had an affection for Greg and Pam Harrington and Brandon Moss, their partner and co-winemaker, because of that initial interaction, but the sheer caliber of the wines are what bring us back to offering them year after year. Gramercy has built a following, and a whole library of well-reviewed wines, by showcasing a clear house style: low-alcohol, high-acid, terroir-expressive. Seekey for # of bottles currently available.
