It is my pleasure to share the Gramercy Cellars wines, founded by winemaker and master sommelier, Greg Harrington, MS. Harrington and Gramercy partner Brandon Moss produce some of the finest Rhone-inspired wines of the Northwest. These are wines that are picked early but show plenty of flavor density and flavor range.
Moss and Harrington focus on prime fruit and minimal intervention, showcasing the typicity of the individual varietal. These are wines that embody structure and poise, with good richness and varietal character. I think that these wines cellar really well as well.
The new 2024 Gramercy Cellars Rose (OB, 93) is a sensational, highly nuanced effort that is very Washington meets Tempier.

2024 Gramercy Cellars ‘Olsen Vineyard’ Rose- One of the truly great examples of Washington Rose, the 2024 ‘Olsen Vineyard’ Rose combines Cinsault (48%) with near equal portions Syrah and Grenache. Wafts of nectarine skin and damp earth mingle well with Satsuma orange zest, guava puree and shades of Yakima cherry on the nose. Very nervy and complex, enjoy now and over the next several years to come. Drink 2025-2031- 93
This is highly complex stuff with shades of white truffle that combine with Mandarin orange zest, watermelon, and red cherry Starburst candy. Nicely textured and very pretty, this is delight to savor in its youth this will surely live on for another seven plus years to come. Drink 2023-2030- 93
