Complex nose shows ash pit, orchid, a cigar-box/roasted asparagus amalgam, olive, and cured beef. There’s also some oozy berry fruit. So soft on the palate. A lighter style, with completely resolved tannins and really nice acids. Not a blockbuster but very elegant. Drink now. — a year ago
This is a delicious, food-versatile red. Blend of Carignan Mourvèdre Grenache and Syrah. Nose has lots of cherry and red berry fruit, a slightly smoky, ashy note. Great balance in the mouth. Such good fruit, a little of the Carignan angularity, tempered by the darker Mourvèdre and Syrah. Nice acids, a little tannin still, and a slightly bitter, minerally closing note. — 2 months ago
There are a handful of benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon wines from Washington. Gramercy Cellars makes one of my favorites. Something I look forward to in all wines is ripeness/not overripe and this 2011 balances and delivers. I love the floral notes in Cabernet Sauvignon. Theirs often deliver a signature violet-perfume aroma that’s fantastic. There are more expensive wines from Walla Walla, or elsewhere in Washington but none better. — 5 months ago
Nice - not overly jammy, and with a distinct taste of orange peel. — 9 months ago
Bought three $20 syrahs and this was my favorite. A little like a Sonoma syrah i like. Not too sweet or thick. — 2 months ago
Good Cabernet Sauvignon with classic flavor. Not overpowering and ready to drink. Not complex but a straightforward Cabernet. — 3 months ago
This is delicious and extraordinarily well-preserved. Earthy and a little feral, still with sappy, juicy, kirschy, rhubarby fruit present. There’s the classic Yakima ashy fire pit scents as well (thank you Mt. St. Helens!). So velvety in the mouth, with meaty, savory, and still vaguely berryish flavors. A treat! — 6 months ago

This was terrific. Grilled tri tip with chimichurri- this rocked. Great fruit, light but adequate tannins, some pepper and spice. — 12 days ago
