T h e V i n e y a r d : January/February 2008 Syrah Suits Washington “At its best, Washington Syrah displays the deep color, violet-laced perfume, and peppery palate of Hermitage and Côtie-Rôtie, but with less tannin. Vivid, focused fruit is more common than overt jammyness, perhaps owing to cold nights at the end of the growing season…It’s a long way from the Rhône Valley to the Pacific Northwest, but Syrah is right at home in both places.” Saveur Gramercy Cellars Walla Walla, Washington “…Clearly a label to follow.” Steve Tanzer Gramercy’s viticultural and winemaking philosophies are very simple- to select the best vineyards, harvest ripe, not over ripe grapes, intervene minimally in the winemaking process, and don’t smother the wine with tons of new oak. They believe that too many wines have excessive alcohol and new oak, are overly fruity and taste like they could be from anywhere. They created Gramercy Cellars to make different wines that display balance, fruit and earthiness, and minimal new oak flavors. Their wines may require time to develop and open, but will reward patience. This is their passion. At Gramercy Cellars, they seek to produce wines that will complement food, provide great pleasure and stand out as uniquely as Washington. } 2005 Syrah Walla Walla ___________________________ 39.99 278 cases produced “Our inaugural Walla Walla Valley Syrah. Damn we love this wine. The grapes were destemmed, fermented in small, open top fermenters for 7-12 days, lightly pressed, allowed to settle and placed in French Oak barrels, with 15% new. The wine was aged for 18 months leaving just a kiss of oak. This wine displays smoked meat, black olive and licorice flavors and elegant black fruits. The wine shows balanced acidity with intense richness and just a touch of vanilla spice. Exactly what we wanted to make in Washington!” Greg Harrington MS, proprietor & winemaker GREG & PAM HARRinGTon 2005 Syrah “Lagniappe” Columbia Valley _________________ 29.99 485 cases produced “Our inaugural Lagniappe Syrah. In New Orleans, Lagniappe means a ‘a little something extra.’ We feel both the wine and the vineyards are a gift to us. The grapes were partiallly destemmed (it’s all about the whole cluster), co-fermented with Viognier in small, open top fermenters for 7-12 days, lightly pressed, allowed to settle and placed in neutral French Oak. The wine was aged for 18 months. This wine displays an amazingly floral nose with hints of orange rind. Flavors of liquid stone and gravel, with smoked meat and red and black fruits. This wine is all about balance with fantastic acidity and intense fruit and earth flavors. This is a food wine, not for sipping on the porch!” Greg Harrington MS, proprietor & winemaker 2005 Cayuse Syrah Cailloux Vineyard __________ 59.99 2005 DeLille Cellars Doyenne Aix ____________ 34.99 2005 DeLille Cellars Doyenne Syrah ___________ 39.99 2004 DeLille Cellars Doyenne Syrah ___________ 44.99 2005 Januik Syrah Lewis Vineyard ____________ 29.99 2005 k Vintners Syrah Cougar Hills ___________ 46.99 2002 k.

Magnifique! Girardin’s} Classic 2005 Vincent Burgundies T h e V i n e y a r d : January/February 2008 Styled by Vincent Girardin, his white wines display their quality in finesse, their aromatic purety, and the harmony between richness and vibrancy. Vincent’s red wines are profound and intense, balancing the tannins and the ripe fruit. These wines demonstrate fullness of structure, with unmistakable grandeur, without any astringency. Success in winemaking requires a rigour and attention to detail at all times for each individual wine. Because each wine has its own specific characteristics, the right technical decisions by the winemaker are essential. At Domaine Vincent Girardin the grapes are harvested by hand, then sorted twice, once in the vineyard and for a second time in the winery. The sorting process eliminates all elements that are not fully ripe or not in the best condition. The presses are pneumatic in order to preserve the purity of the grapes. Next the wines are aged in oak barrels. This carefully controlled ageing process allows the wines to achieve their full potential. In order to preserve their natural qualities to the utmost, the red wines are not fined or filtered.
