Greg Harrington loves his Rhône varietals but, wow is his Cabernet Sauvignon good. Fundamentally different from Bordeaux or Napa Valley but in its own way brilliant. Drink now or pass it to your grandchildren - up to you.

The 2015 'Reserve' Cabernet Sauvignon from Gramercy Cellars is a stunning wine that can benefit from a two plus hour decant at this point in its development. It shows an inky color, unveiling layered black fruits, smoky and earthy tones and Asian spices on the nose. The mouthfeel is sumptuous, as this silky wine glides through the mid-palate. Cigar ash, blackberry compote, black tea, Asian spice and mocha flavors all marvelously combine in the glass. This is a truly fantastic wine which should continue to cellar well for decades but it is highly gratifying in the glass right now. Drink 2019-2035- 95

Super flavorful: a little sweet - cherry pie/blackberry jam. With cola, coconut, and spices.
