Gramercy 2012 Lower East Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Lower East
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: Gramercy / Columbia Valley (WA)

This offers reserved notes of cherry and raspberry compote, cranberry, earth and assorted dried herbs. With the oak pleasantly dialed back, the focus remains on the fruit. The palate displays exquisite purity, elegance and detail, with a light grip of tannins pulling it all together. It’s drinking beautifully now, but you could open it up in 2025 or 2030 and it wouldn’t bat an eye.
