2005 Gramercy Cellars/Waters Twenty One 21 Grams Red

The 2005 Walla Walla Valley Red Wine is composed of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Petit Verdot. Purple-colored, it offers up an excellent perfume of pain grille, pencil lead, earth notes, black cherry, blackberry, and a hint of licorice in the background. Mouth-filling, ripe, and structured, this full-flavored effort could easily pass for a classified growth Pauillac from a top vintage. It should evolve in the manner of a top Bordeaux for another 6-8 years and perform at its peak from 2015 to 2030. This is a wine to please both the intellect and the senses. 21 Grams is a collaboration between Gramercy Cellars and Waters Winery in which each winery selects the best lots of Bordeaux varieties in the cellar to be blended together to produce 75 cases available only to customers on the mailing lists of the wineries. Kudos to the two participating wineries. www.gramercycellars.com or www.waterswinery.com
