Spring Release Wines for 2023!
This is a release that everyone at Gramercy is honored to show.
In February, we were invited to pour at a spectacular wine event in New York City – the Top 100 Wineries in the World Tasting. Usually, this is a fall tasting in San Francisco, but it became so successful Wine & Spirits added a second event in NYC. Each year, the magazine editors choose their favorite wineries and wines from around the world. It’s always amazing to be selected along with the giants of the wine world for this tasting.
We were thrilled to be asked to pour the 2018 John Lewis Syrah and Reserve Cabernet. (FYI, the 2019s might even be better.) These events always inspire us to improve – farming, winemaking decisions, learning, etc. We earnestly seek to strengthen every wine in every vintage.
The reception to our wines was incredible. Our table had a long line the entire time, especially for the “under the table Cabernet Franc.” Person after person came over, having heard about it. We quickly poured out of the few bottles we had. That wine, the 2019 Cabernet Franc “Estate” MTA exclusive, is in this release.
The entire Spring release line-up is stunning and diverse. (See below for the full lineup.) We have Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Grenache blend, and Pinot Noir – a virtual tour of French varieties from various great vintages. Incredible vineyards like Red Willow, Forgotten Hills, Olsen, Le Pré du Col and our estate properties are all represented in this release. We are blessed to be able to steward these vineyards and use the incredible fruit these farmers produce. Wines of complexity, intensity, and balance. Delicious wines that pair well with food. We love making these wines for you – our Gramercy family.
As always, we are so grateful for your support. We love making wine and look forward to you having these wines with friends and family. We would love to see you at the winery or an event soon!

2020 Grenache “The Third Man”
$44 Retail : $37.40 MTA Wine Club
“A blockbuster of a wine. It hails from Olsen Vineyard, which we consider the best Grenache site in Washington State. An explosion of red fruit, spice, and earth. As these vines are getting older, we see more delicacy, earth, and complexity with each vintage.” – Greg H. Awaiting Reviews, previous vintages average 93 pts between reviewers.
2019 Syrah “Lagniappe” Red Willow Vineyard
$65 Retail : $55.25 MTA Wine Club
“Offers impressive red and blue fruits as well as peppery herbs, spring flowers, and sandalwood aromatics, medium-bodied richness, ripe yet certainly present tannins, and a balanced, elegant profile. It’s going to keep for 15+ years.” – 94+ Pts, Jeb Dunnuck
2019 Syrah “Forgotten Hills Vineyard”
$65 Retail : $55.25 MTA Wine Club
“The 2019 Syrah Forgotten Hills wafts up with an old-world inspired blend of crushed rocks, peppery florals, smoked meat and camphor. This is cool-toned and savory, nearly salty on the palate, with crisp black fruits and inner herbal tones. The 2019 tapers off slow with sour twang of citrus and rosy inner florals that linger on.” – 92 Pts, Vinous

Spring Release Wine Club Exclusive Wine
2019 Cabernet Franc “Estate Vineyard” MTA
$60 Retail : $51 MTA Wine Club
“An exquisite wine coming from our estate vineyards in Walla Walla. Leaning stylistically towards Loire Valley Cabernet Franc, this cuvée brings all its glorious thin mint Girl Scout cookie goodness to this exclusive club release. A blend of 82% Cabernet Franc and 18% Merlot, it’s full of bright red fruits, green pepper, medium plus acid, and soft tannins.” – Greg H.
2018 Pinot Noir “Le Pré du Col Vineyard” MTA
$60 Retail : $51 MTA Wine Club
“This is our fourth and final release of Le Pré du Col Pinot Noir, sourced from Bergström’s notable, biodynamically farmed vineyard in the Ribbon Ridge AVA of the Willamette Valley. We believe the 2018 is our best so far. The Pinot lies firmly between the earth and structure of the Old World and the fruit of the New World. Wild strawberry, Bing cherry, green fig, and a coterie of spices cover the palate. – Brandon M.
