2013 Gramercy Cellars "The Deuce" Walla Walla Valley Syrah

Mostly from the Les Collines Vineyard in Walla Walla, the 2013 Syrah The Deuce is a fabulous, downright sexy 2013 that‰۪s loaded with gamy, lavender, dried violets, and peppery aromas and flavors. Giving up lots of dark fruits, full-bodied richness, sweet tannin and a graceful, never heavy texture, it shows the vintage's more charming, approachable style, yet I‰۪m sure this beauty will cruise for a decade in the cellar.
