Note di degustazione
Good red-ruby. Currant, tobacco leaf and herbs on the nose, plus hints of leather and spicy, chocolatey oak. Bright acids give definition to the currant and dark cherry fruit flavors. Not a fleshy style, but offers good intensity and grip and finishes with harmonious, fine-grained tannins. Should be a copacetic companion at the dinner table.

Gramercy’s 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from the Portteus, Phinney Hill, and Pepper Bridge Vineyards, each from a different AVA. Dark ruby-colored, it emits a superb bouquet of cigar box, violets, incense, black cherry, and black raspberry. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied, smooth-textured, deep, opulent Cabernet with plenty of underlying structure, excellent integration of oak, tannin, and acidity, and a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. It will continue to unfold with another 6-8 years of cellaring and offer a drinking window extending through 2026. Gramercy Cellars was started by Master Sommelier Greg Harrington in 2005. He states, “My goal is to make wines the kind I like to drink, lower alcohol, higher acid, wines that taste like they came from some place.” His last set of releases, reviewed in Issue 177, was first-class but the latest collection is eye-opening. My advice: get on Gramercy’s mailing list while you still can. Tel. (509) 876-2427; www.gramercycellars.com
