"Composed of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with an expressive nose of ripe, soft red and black fruitsdark cherry, blackberry and juicy plum skinwith subtle spice tones and floral notes underneath.

Medium to full-bodied on the palate, the wine turns slightly tart, with a balanced structure and buttressing acidity. It ends with a focused, long finish demonstrating precision every step of the way. It's a well-made wine that I will be putting into my cellar. Only 1,493 cases made."

"Offering up a Margaux-like perfume of cassis, spring flowers, sandalwood, and cedar pencil, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is medium-bodied, elegant, and seamless on the palate. Its a beautiful, textured wine thats going to evolve gracefully for 10-15 years." ~ JD

Vinous Media 92
"Medium ruby-red. Aromas of blackcurrant, dark raspberry, espresso, bitter chocolate and graphite. Silky and plush but also vinous on entry, then densely packed, seamless and deep in the middle, with savory red and blacker fruit flavors complicated by subtle brown spices and minerals. Conveys excellent inner-mouth peppery lift and vinosity without coming across as green. This wine struck me as quite similar to its 2015 predecessor, suggesting that owner/winemaker Greg Harrington was especially successful in avoiding obvious signs of the very hot 2015 growing season. This savory, classically dry, energetic Cabernet Sauvignon finishes with firm, suave tannins and slowly mounting persistence." ~ AG

Wine Enthusiast 92
"Pleasing aromas of cocoa, thyme, dark coffee, graphite and cherry lead to elegant, lip-smacking flavors that still carry a sense of richness. Refined, subtle tannins back it up. Coffee notes linger on the finish. The balance is spot on, and it brings an unabashed sense of deliciousness." ~ SS
About Gramercy Cellars
Master Sommelier Greg Harrington spent his career overseeing some of the most prestigious wine programs in the country. Since passing the exam at 26 years old (the youngest person ever at the time) he couldn't get the idea of making wine out of his head. In 2004 he attended an event featuring the wines of Walla Walla and he was immediately hooked. He worked harvest that fall and in 2005 he launched his own winery, Gramercy Cellars.

Since he didn't own vineyards of his own, he sought out the best sources he could find to make his wines. He also wanted grapes that weren't overripe so you wouldn't lose the distinctive terroir of Walla Walla. In the cellar he favors minimal handling, stem-inclusion, and light use of new oak, all to preserve the character of the fruit and the vintage.

The resulting wines are restrained, balanced, and complex. They age well but also possess enough fruit to be rewarding when young. Gramercy Cellars was founded in the hope of capturing what first caught Greg's attention: the distinctive voice of Washington wines. With each vintage he further proves that it has been a success.
