Fantastic Washington Cabernet at its peak. Ripe black fruits that go on for minutes with a smooth powerful sweet tannic background. Pairs with anything... See previous note.

Very enjoyable, nearly mature cabernet from Gramercy. At 15 years of age, this wine has developed complexity and mellowness. The nose is more mocha, earth and cedar while the flavors are red berries, allspice, some earth and coffee. The tannins are fine and silky. While not distinguished by unique characters (such as nothing minty or no deep cigar box notes) it is a lovely, exceptionally drinkable bottle of Cab. Not going to get better, but has enough backbone to hold up for another 5-8 years.

Bold flavor and fruit, lovely balance and really good for one who drinks mostly Syrah and Pinot noir wines. Drank with a rib roast that was equally good, marvelous paring, WOTN.

(Gramercy Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley) A richly aromatic wine that opens up with high toned black fruit, a touch of mint, light chocolate, pencil shavings, and licorice. The palate is rich but restrained with a textured mouthfeel. An emphatic example of Washington State Cabernet. 13.9% alcohol. 650 cases produced.
