  smoky peat and concentrated fruit. nice acid. balanced but quite bombastic for 13.5% alcohol.
  
  a bit sauve from the 10% new oak, but predominantly pure funky syrah goodness.

  Meant to grab a '12 but took this by mistake to a friend's where decanting wasn't possible. Drank okay but in a no-man's-land between the lusher fruit of childhood I experienced at the winery whenI bought it in 4/21 and the better place it's on its way to. Leave them alone for now.

  Retail $65. 100% Syrah, 90% whole cluster, 10% new French oak. A "lagniappe" is an extra gift, a bonus, which is the way Gramercy saw this wine, originally a blend of juice from Yakima and Walla Walla. Since 2010, fruit from Red Willow Vineyard was increasingly added until 2016 when it became a vineyard-designated wine. The vineyard boasts the first Syrah planting in the state, and the nose exhibits rich red and a touch of black fruit with oodles of spice. Rich and unctuous on the palate and definitely on the big side of Syrah. Whoa. Outstanding. 95 Points.

  Served this to a group of wine newbies as an example of an excellent Washington Syrah. Did not disappoint!
