Gramercy Cellars John Lewis Syrah 2013 (75cl)

A Washington State Syrah from Gramercy Cellars, the John Lewis bottling from the 2013 vintage. Founder Greg Harrington gave up a top New York sommelier career to make Northern Rhône-style reds in Walla Walla. Expect rich blackberry, cured meat and a generous crack of fresh black pepper without heavy oak overload, with savory complexity alongside vivid American fruit. The notes describe lush dark plum, smoked bacon, olive tapenade and crushed black pepper, a velvety yet fresh mouthfeel and a long, savory finish. Decant for 30 minutes.
