2021 Vintage Reserve Wine Release
There’s something deeply meaningful about savoring a beautiful bottle of wine, and it’s my honor to present an exclusive allocation of our flagship 2021 Reserve Syrah “John Lewis” and 2021 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. These wines represent the heart of Gramercy Cellars.
2021 Vintage Overview
The 2021 vintage in Washington was marked by warmth, resulting in wines of exceptional concentration and balance. With historically low yields, the smaller fruit delivered a rare harmony of power and elegance, showcasing ripe flavors, vibrant structure, and balanced tannins.
2021 John Lewis Syrah
The 2021 is not only one of the finest expressions of John Lewis since its inaugural 2006 vintage, but it also stands shoulder to shoulder with the greatest wines of the Northern Rhône—an extraordinary achievement in elegance, complexity, and precision.
2021 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Awarded 97 points by Owen Bargreen, this powerhouse Cabernet is a testament to distinction, longevity, and the unique terroir of Washington.

2021 Syrah “John Lewis” Reserve
This Syrah is a testament to Walla Walla’s finest terroir, sourced from Les Collines Vineyard (93%) and Forgotten Hills Vineyard (7%). Les Collines’ mid-slope Block 46 delivers the hallmark elegance and structure that define this wine, while Forgotten Hills contributes a distinct vibrancy.
The 2021 John Lewis Syrah is a wine that belongs in every collector’s cellar.
Owen Bargreen: 96 Points
“[E]xudes class with loganberry compote, wet stone and dried herbs on the nose that combine with suggestions of smoked brisket. The palate comes off fresh and inviting with serious texture and underlying verve.”

2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve
Highlighting the depth and diversity of Washington’s vineyards by blending 97% Cabernet Sauvignon from Bacchus (68%) and Phinny Hill (29%) with 3% Petit Verdot for our Octave Estate. These renowned sites bring complexity, structure, and balance to a wine that reflects the pinnacle of Gramercy’s winemaking.
Owen Bargreen: 97 Points
“The chiseled and muscle-bound 2021 Gramercy Cellars ‘Reserve’ Cabernet Sauvignon is a burly rendition of this wine that… shows off dense dark fruits on the nose, with milk chocolate, garrigue and pencil lead, alongside loamy soil accents. The palate shows some serious power and finesse — an iron fist in velvet glove. Wait on this beauty for at least another year.”
