W fun duck/rice dish. Super solid bdx blend. Time to drink but this is good! Dark red, fresh, tannins still around but much sediment. Like having these 10 yr olds around!!

At Renee and Gerry (+Melissa and Andrew). With great salmon dish. What a spectacular bottle. Super fresh. Great color, nose and the whole thing. No words to describe how great this is. Super long life left but why wait. Very spoiled that i got to drink this.

Gift from Jamie & Greg. Solid Cali cab with long live ahead. California vanilla absolutely but with enough dark fruit to make it a solid wine. Give it air (2 hours +)

My wine-loving and educated friends with whom I did the informal tasting and I all agreed we liked the 2010 the best. Interestingly, we came to the same conclusion when we tasted the same vertical (2009-2011) of Gramercy's Walla Walla Valley Syrah.
Thanks for asking - I've edited my tasting notes to include our favorite of the three.
Also, I haven't yet posted this quite yet - I'm waiting to finish the rest of the bottle - but the 2013 Gramercy Cellars Mourvédre L’idiot du Village Columbia Valley is absolutely striking right now. The minute I opened the bottle, the nose was unlike anything I had ever smelled; I'm still trying to pinpoint what I'm smelling. It's drinking beautifully.
I hope you and yours are safe and healthy in these challenging times.
Cheers, Faith
