Spring Release 2025
It’s hard to believe how quickly time flies. We launched Gramercy in 2005 and watching this winery evolve has been nothing short of incredible. I truly believe we’ve continued to refine everything we do—from farming and winemaking to hospitality and telling the story of this incredible winery and region. What started as a dream has become a reality, and for that, I’m beyond grateful.
But another reality we can’t ignore is that the wine business is changing. You may have seen the reports—American wineries are facing unprecedented challenges. The reasons are endless, and unfortunately, I agree with much of the analysis. Now more than ever, Washington and all American wineries need support.
So, I’m making a request. If you love great wine, support the Washington wineries that make it. Tell your friends about Gramercy and other Walla Walla producers. Order Washington wines at restaurants. Better yet—come visit us in Walla Walla! This is an extraordinary region, one I want to see thriving for generations to come.
And now, let’s talk about this release—some of my absolute favorite wines we produce. Time to join our wine club if you love Cab Franc!
The Wines: An Exceptional Spring Release
The 2021 vintage in Washington was shaped by warmth, delivering wines of exceptional concentration, structure, and balance. This lineup embodies everything we love about Gramercy—precision, complexity, and a deep sense of place.
We’re incredibly grateful for your support. We look forward to raising a glass with you soon—whether at the winery, on the road, or around the table with friends and family.
All the best,
Greg Harrington

2021 Mourvèdre “L’Idiot du Village”
$48 Retail : $40.80 MTA Wine Club
Once considered a wine geek’s grape, Mourvèdre thrives at Olsen Vineyard, where it showcases the earthy complexity of Bandol while maintaining a distinctive red fruit profile. Bridging the gap between light and full-bodied, this versatile chameleon shines as a refreshing summer time companion to charcuterie or a cozy winter pairing with braised beef stew.
“Always one of the finest editions of this varietal in the state, the 2021 [L’Idiot] has a pinch of Carignan blended in. Despite being translucent in the glass, this has beautiful depth and weight, with a glorious core of red fruits that parade with blood orange zest, seaweed, white pepper dusted bacon.” – 95 Pts, Dr. Owen Bargreen
2021 Syrah “Lagniappe” Red Willow Vineyard
$65 Retail : $55.25 MTA Wine Club
Coming from Red Willow Vineyard, the 2021 Lagniappe Syrah finds us blending the older and younger blocks at the site. This new world style Syrah is a powerhouse of dark purple fruits, spice, and earthiness with mid-palate intensity and aromatic complexity. Bright acidity, rocking tannins, and a very long finish.This is a stunning wine that will evolve for 15+ years.
“Charcuterie and black raspberry notes mingle well with lavender and shades of dark rose petals, with smoky accents on the nose. The palate shows downright awesome flavor range, richness and bright underlying tension. Enjoy this beauty now and over the next ten-plus years.” – 95 Pts, Dr. Owen Bargreen
2021 Syrah “Forgotten Hills Estate Vineyard”
$65 Retail : $55.25 MTA Wine Club
The 2021 Forgotten Hills Syrah, from our 24-year-old estate vines, is the darkest and most concentrated expression of this wine yet. This old world Syrah is salty and fresh on the palate. Vibrant acidity lifts its plush texture, leading to a long, lingering finish. Even in a warm vintage, Forgotten Hills is all about elegance and delicate aromatics.
“[A] small amount of Rocks District Syrah blended in. The faintest rocky stone character marks the nose alongside umami, allspice-dusted black fruits and suggestions of Nori with white peppercorns. The palate is a total knockout in terms of flavor range and bright underlying acidity. This has to be the one of the finest editions of this wine yet.” – 95 Pts, Dr. Owen Bargreen
2021 Gramercy Estates
$72 Retail : $61.20 MTA Wine Club
Each year, the “Estates” is blended from the best eight barrels from our estate vineyards. The palate guides the final blend entirely with this year being 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. The 2021 is an expressive wine bursting with red currant, raspberry, chocolate, and Mexican oregano while layering in caramel and espresso. Full-bodied and velvety, this cellar-worthy wine rewards both patience and immediate enjoyment.
“This warm vintage edition of the Gramercy Estates [is] lush and inviting on the mouth, delivering pencil lead and menthol flavors that mingle well with a generous core of dark fruits.” – 94 Pts, Dr. Owen Bargreen

2021 Cabernet Franc “Estate Vineyard” MTA
$55 Retail : $46.75 MTA Wine Club
Sourced from our estate vineyard in Walla Walla, this 100% Cabernet Franc showcases the unmistakable character of the grape. Aromas of cherry, raspberry, and mulled cranberry draw you in, while subtle notes of green Poblano pepper add depth and intrigue. Highly textural with a long, lingering finish. Wine Club Only.
“This wine is the best example of Cabernet Franc I’ve had from Walla Walla Valley. The aromas pop, with notes of red fruit, cigar box, fresh herb, cocoa, and whole green pepper, showing sublime focus. The palate is flavorful, fresh, and vibrant, backed by lively acidity. The texture is breathtaking. Impressive length caps it off. It’s outrageously delicious, a winning combination of flavor intensity, propelling acidity, and pitch-perfect balance.” – 94 Pts, Sean Sullivan – Northwest Wine Report
