Gramercy Cellars The Third Man Grenache - Syrah - Mourvedre, Columbia Valley, USA 2019 Champagne Francis Verrier "The purity of cabernet sauvignonLight strawberry and raspberry, white pepper, red and purple flowers. Fresh but ripe primary fruit showing first. Cherry liquor, orange peel clove, crazy expensive designer candle. Richer on the palate. Leesy, maybe a touch of vanilla from the oak. Balanced with high acid and moderate tannin. Classically Washington with a nod to the Old World.
