Le Dessein 2021

$45.00 / 750 ml
Packed full of vibrant fruit aromas like wild strawberry, black plum and fresh raspberry. The palate begins softly and effortlessly transitions to a plush mid-palate backed by energetic acid, and finishes with broad tannins. Syrah contributes a gamey quality and sweet smoke, while the Mourvèdre brings big brambly flavors. The Grenache brightens the blend and is responsible for candied red fruit flavors.

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.
