RATINGS

95Jeb Dunnuck

Blackberries, blackcurrants, sandalwood, graphite, and tobacco leaf notes all emerge from this medium to full-bodied Cabernet that has silky tannins and a nuanced, elegant texture.

94Stephen Tanzer

Utterly distinctive aromas of redcurrant, darker berries, licorice, tobacco, crushed rock and iron... Finishes with superb spicy rising length and serious grip and tannic spine.

...rich and full expression, leading with Cabernet characteristics. It displays notes of soft red spices on the nose, with a dark-berried core of fruit, hints of oak and rocky minerality. The palate is clean, with structuring tannins and a layered base of dusty fruit that evolves to show nuanced herbal flavors on the mid-palate. The finish is long and thoughtful.

92Wine Spectator

A handsome red, showing refinement and structure, offering poised blackberry, lead pencil and black tea notes that finish with polished tannins.

91James Suckling

This has raspberry-pastry aromas with woody spices and custard-powder notes. The palate has medium body and the flavors sit in a spiced red-berry zone. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot.

PRODUCER

Delille Cellars

DeLille Cellars was founded in 1992 in Woodinville, Washington, by the Lill family, Jay Soloff and Chris Upchurch, who is the winemaker. The family and the founding partners still own and operate the estate, considered one of the best in Washington. The estate makes Bordeaux-style red and white wines under several labels, which are DeLille Cellars, Doyenne and Grand Ciel. The flagship wines include DeLille Cellars Chaleur Estate, which is typically 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. The Grand Ciel wines are small-production, luxury cuvees that come from the famous Ciel du Cheval Vineyard in the Red Mountain appellation of Eastern Washington. The first Grand Ciel vintage was 2004. Wine Advocate gave the 2005 Grand Ciel 95 pts and called it “opulent.” The Doyenne wines are Rhone-style Syrahs, Roussannes and blends.

REGION

United States, Washington, Yakima Valley

Yakima Valley AVA was the first AVA created in Washington State. The valley, a 600,000-acre area in south central Washington, was granted AVA status in 1983. In 1984 Columbia Valley was given AVA status, and Yakima Valley was enclosed within the Columbia Valley AVA. Nevertheless, Yakima Valley remains home to the largest concentration of vineyards and wineries in the state. There are more than 60 wineries and some 16,000 vineyard acres, and nearly 40% of Washington wines are made with Yakima Valley grapes. The most frequently planted grape is Chardonnay, followed by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemaking here dates to 1869, when a winemaker from Alsace planted grape vines. Vineyard planting and wine production plodded along slowly until the early 1980s when numerous modern pioneers started making well-reviewed Yakima Valley wines. Some of the state’s newest, most closely watched appellations, including Red Mountain AVA and Horse Heaven Hills AVA, are contained within Yakima Valley.
