Readers looking for a killer Syrah to purchase to see what Washington is all about couldn't do any better than a bottle of the 2013 Columbia Valley Syrah from Gramercy. Possessing lots of gamy, olive, peppery, lavender and salted meats, with a core of ripe plum and darker fruits, this beauty is full-bodied, supple, polished and utterly seamless, with no hard edges and a clean, focused finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. Buy this beauty by the case and drink it over the coming decade.
Les Collines, Minick, Old Stones, SJR, Oldfield and Olsen provide the fruit for this wine. It's perfumed and leads with aromas of violets, dried herbs, olive and earth, with raspberry notes emerging over time. The palate is all about texture and elegance, while lingering on the finish.
(vinified with 40% whole clusters and aged for 18 months in neutral French barrels): Good dark red. Wild musky, funky nose combines blueberry, violet, leather, meat, molasses and pepper. A smooth, bright midweight with captivating floral/spicy lift, a restrained sweetness and a light touch, if not quite the complexity promised by the fascinating nose. But this wine's disparate elements--it's a blend of four vineyards--still need time to knit.
