January 22, 2018 - Pleasant and still has decent fruit but simple and becoming a bit astringent. Best days behind, so drink now.
March 4, 2016 - Concentrated nose of invigorating, lively, and inviting black fruits. Absolutely delicious. Dry, medium plus bodied. Medium plus acidity. Medium tannins, smooth supple rolling tannins. Medium alcohol. Great, immense flavors. Blackberries, pepper, wet earth, wet leaves, minerality layers throughout and intertwined. Incredibly lively wine. Highly recommended.
June 1, 2015 - superb, savory, cool, really good!, Rhone-like, meaty, olive, good fruit
May 28, 2012 - Opened up nicely after two hours. Wish I had more!
December 31, 2011 - Fantastic WA Sryah, everyone loved this wine tonight. Dark, deep fruit smooth and tasty!
October 24, 2011 - So very clean, cool, pure, and balanced, The essence of WA Syrah, and perfectly made. I particularly like how "cool" tasting this is, with no sense of overripeness or sweetness on the front edge. Very tasty, excellent with wild game. Drank at Purple Kirkland.
August 10, 2011 - consistent with prior notes...my last bottle. As an introduction to Gramercy, you could hardly do better.
August 9, 2011 - Nearly black core with purple tinted rim. The nose is a blast of black pepper along with some floral perfumed aromatics. Full bodied with dark fruits and savory components. Blackberry and olive brine which is a strange combo for layers of flavor, but it works beautifully. Strong acidic structure keeps the fruit bright rather than brooding. Tannins are silky soft. Nice length.
As always, Gramercy delivers a wine which is firmly new world in style, but sensible and balanced. No heat or flab, just pure fruit.
July 8, 2011 - consistent with prior notes
January 20, 2011 - An elegant and refined syrah. Very strong flavor profile with brambly pepper and spice notes. Bright acidity throughout. A little taut at first, this gained some body with air without being too overbearing or jammy. Very well made and a good example of what's possible in WA. I look forward to my next bottle from Gramercy.
