The Character
Tasting Notes Initial bursts of green kiwi and ripe peaches leap from the glass, followed by a floral bouquet of gardenia and honeysuckle. The prominent aromas continue onto the palate, layered with sweet oak spice and a generous, creamy body imparted by sur lees aging. The refreshing acidity and throughline of minerality unite this effort.

About DeLille
Producer Story
DeLille Cellars is regarded as a top American producer of Bordeaux-style blends, showcasing a tradition of quality and excellence over its 30-year history. DeLille remains a principal influence in establishing Washington State as a premier viticultural region, with a focus on the Red Mountain AVA and other prestigious vineyard sites throughout the Columbia Valley.
Founded on the concept of crafting world-class wine from Washington State, DeLille Cellars was founded by Chris Upchurch, Jay A. Soloff, Greg Lill, and his father Charles Lill. The four founders believed that all good blends transcend the sum of their individual parts, and this principle and company philosophy of “always seeking” guides the winery’s commitment to constant improvement and continuous discovery in the cellar.
