  Syrah makes up just under two-thirds of this blend. Dark in color, it brings aromas of generous French-oak spices along with mineral, olive and dark fruit followed by a spicy top note. The palate is rich and dense, full of tightly wound cherry flavors that linger on the finish.

  Made from 75% Syrah with the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, this is barrel fermented and aged in 100% new French oak. A hedonistic wine, it offers notes of mineral, dark cherries, herbs, earth and smoked meat. It's supple, rich and creamy in feel, with abundant cherry flavors that sho…

  This is Gorman's reserve wine, a lovely mix of tart, sappy cassis, smoke and bright, brambly berry flavors. Young and tight, this is the quintessential Washington ‘garagiste' Syrah/Cab blend—a red wine that is sharp, spicy and detailed, with tangy red berry fruits, hints of pine…
