It has a herbal edge

yet stays lively

both exuberant and classic

2013 Gramercy Cellars "The Deuce" Walla Walla Valley Syrah allowing medium-bodied layers of stoneMostly from the Les Collines Vineyard in Walla Walla, the 2013 Syrah The Deuce is a fabulous, downright sexy 2013 thats 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 Im sure this beauty will cruise for a decade in the cellar.
