SHIPPING NOTICE

Offering aromas of blueberry compote, green peppercorn, fennel seed, and wild blackberry. The Malbec adds juicy, brambly fruits and a fleshy texture that begs for the well- structured Red Mountain Cabernet, which in turn adds a touch of sanguine and tobacco leaf. The palate shows great concentration and weight, with the vibrant dark fruits elevating the wine and bringing energy to the finish.

Winery Info

DELILLE CELLARS

DeLille Cellars is a boutique artisan winery located in Woodinville, Washington. Founded in 1992 on the concept of crafting world-class wines in Washington State, the winery pioneered Bordeaux-style blends (both red and white), inspiring Robert Parker in a visit to the original Chateau in Woodinville, to proclaim DeLille Cellars "The Lafite Rothschild of Washington State." The winery was one of the first five wineries in Washington to receive Parker's 5-star excellence rating. DeLille Cellars is considered a principal influence in establishing Washington as a premier viticultural region with a focus on the Red Mountain AVA and other prestigious vineyard sites throughout the Columbia Valley. Today, the winery has a portfolio of over a dozen Bordeaux and Rhône style blends true to the terroir of Washington State and carries on a strong tradition of quality and excellence over its 30-year history.
