In the cellar, the approach is similarly restrained: grapes are picked for freshness rather than overripeness, extraction is kept moderate, and the wine is aged in French oak (with a relatively modest portion of new barrels) to preserve structure and nuance rather than dominate with oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the 2021 vintage is a Bordeaux-style blend led by cabernet sauvignon, supported by smaller amounts of merlot and cabernet Franc. It opens with aromas of black cherry, cassis, and plum layered with graphite and dried herbs. The palate shows dark berries, cedar, tobacco, and a touch of espresso, all carried by lively acidity and firm but polished tannins. Medium-to-full-bodied, it strikes a notable balance between richness and freshness, finishing long and subtly savory. Overall, it’s a refined, classically styled Washington cabernet: approachable now but structured enough to evolve gracefully over the next decade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kellogg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044161257787,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/4991\/3915\/files\/gramercy-cellars-lower-east-columbia-valley-cabernet-sauvignon-2020_b86cbf53-5189-4158-9fe1-169a062f8036.png?v=1741246935","url":"https:\/\/flightwineshop.com\/products\/gramercy-cellars-lower-east-columbia-valley-cabernet-sauvignon-2021","provider":"Flight Wine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
