Notice the winery symbol of the stir stick or baton, surrounded by a barrel symbol and G and W for Gorman Winery. The process of battonage is what deepens the flavors and complexity of the wine.
This wine tasting room was hopping on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. Thursdays in Woodinville must be the night out for everyone. Gorman focuses primarily on Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah from the AVA of Red Mountain. There are 14 major wine AVA’s in the state of Washington, but Red Mountain has the climate perfect for raising those grapes. I tried several scrumptious red wines from the tasting menu and all were delightful, but the Red Mountain Syrah titled “Pixie” won my heart. This lush velvety tannic Syrah made me appreciate and realize why I love the Red Mountain region in Washington State with a passion. Many vintages were already sold out, so didn’t even get to try The Devil You Know and The Devil you Don’t Know.
Wine club memberships are available and there are 3 different club options.

You too can become a huge fan of this winery. More to come on The Pixie Syrah once my shipment arrives. Love how they kept their reds at 57 degrees for their tasting guests.
