  Wonderful Syrah from Gramercy. Smoked meats, bacon, red fruit, more smoke, spices and violets all mingling together seamlessly. A little olive tapenade and some lingering Rocks funkiness with more smoked meat on the backend. Lush, velvety, and beautifully balanced now, it's near it's peak. Drink up over the next 3-4 years.

  Still fresh will little sign of age. Slightly more acid than the 2010 or 2012 with sufficient tannin to last a few more years. Black friut with smoked meat, spice, pepper, road tar and violets. A hint of WA funk that dissipated after several hours. Nice long finish with a mineral tang. Drinking nicely now, could go another 6-8 years, easily.

  Another Washington Syrah I’m not certain about.
  Very lifted nose. Cured meats and dried herbs. Very exotic but this wine and the region leave me with the impression of greenery.
  The palate is rich. Sweet fruit. Broad yet there is still a surprising acid focus. More herbs and meat on the balata with some red berries.
  Aging gracefully.

  Delicious, classic WA state Syrah. Black fruits, smoke and tar, with wifts of flowers and wet stones. Nicely integrated tannins. Actually had this over 2 nights and it continued to soften and become even more expansive on day 2. Slightly more restrained than the Lagniappe or a K Vintner Hidden.
