2022 DeLiIle Cellars "D2" Bordeaux Blend Magnum

Always built around Merlot, D2 is a classic Bordeaux-style blend crafted from more than a dozen of the Columbia Valley’s most esteemed vineyards, capturing the finest expression of Washington State terroir.

"The 2022 DeLille D2 from the Columbia Valley is a refined and expressive Bordeaux-style blend, led by 56% Merlot alongside 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet in color, the nose unfolds with layers of black cherry, ripe plum, and cassis, complemented by hints of cedar, tobacco leaf, and crushed graphite. The palate is supple yet structured, with juicy red and blue fruit weaving through nuances of dark cocoa, dried sage, and a whisper of baking spice. Silky tannins create a seamless texture, leading into a finish marked by polished acidity and lingering notes of espresso and blackcurrant."
-International Wine Report, 94 Points

"The 2022 D2 is elegant and plush, showcasing the high quality of this stellar vintage. The initial aromas of black currant, wild strawberry, cherry cola, and hints of mocha leap from the glass, lingering with each sip. On the palate, the tannins are refined and broad, creating a luscious mouthfeel lifted by the mouthwatering acidity and warm oak flavors. There is a savory throughline that brilliantly complements the bright red and dark fruit medley. The transition from the juicy mid-palate to the lengthy finish is seamless. Drink with confidence now after a hefty decant or cellar for 12+ years."
