This boutique estate represents a rare convergence of sommelier expertise and winemaking artistry, creating some of Washington State's most compelling and age-worthy bottles.

Founded by Greg Harrington, one of only 269 Master Sommeliers worldwide, Gramercy Cellars emerged from a profound understanding of what makes great wine truly exceptional. Harrington's background as a sommelier at renowned establishments like The French Laundry informs every decision, from vineyard selection to final blending. His philosophy centers on restraint and terroir expression, deliberately avoiding the over-extraction and excessive oak that can mask a wine's true character. This approach yields wines of remarkable elegance and complexity that improve dramatically with cellaring.

Gramercy Cellars specializes in Rhône and Bordeaux varietals, with their estate vineyards providing the foundation for exceptional single-vineyard bottlings. The flagship Syrah showcases the estate's commitment to site-specific expression, while their Tempranillo demonstrates Harrington's innovative spirit in exploring Spanish varieties in Washington terroir. The winery's Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot represent investment-grade collectibles that rival Bordeaux's finest expressions. Production remains intentionally limited, with many wines available only through allocation, ensuring exclusivity and maintaining the artisanal quality that defines each vintage. Critical acclaim consistently recognizes these wines for their European-style elegance and remarkable aging potential.
