2020 T2 Cellar GSM — Columbia Valley, Washington
The Moment
From our friends at T2 Cellar in Seattle comes a Rhône-inspired blend that does exactly what great GSM wines should do: bring balance, structure, and just enough intrigue to keep you pouring another glass. Built on a Syrah backbone and layered with Grenache and Mourvèdre, this is a Washington red designed for long dinners and even longer conversations.
Awarded a Silver Medal at the 2024 Savor NW Wine Awards, this vintage shows how Washington Rhône blends can be both approachable and quietly complex.
In the Glass
The 2020 GSM opens with lifted cranberry and red fruit notes that immediately feel fresh and inviting. Beneath that brightness sits a gentle caramel warmth and darker fruit tones, giving the wine depth without heaviness.
Grenache brings the juicy, fruit-forward entry.
Syrah provides structure and quiet savory depth.
Mourvèdre lingers on the finish with a subtle earthiness that keeps each sip interesting.
Light tannins and balanced acidity make this an easy-drinking red with enough structure to keep wine lovers engaged.
