Each year, this ranks as one of Washington’s top wines, and Wine Spectator placed the 2019 vintage as No. 30 on its Top 100 list of the world for 2022. Here marks the sixth time — and the third time in the past three vintages — for DeLille Cellars to earn a Platinum with its Right Bank-Bordeaux expression produced with the help of eight of Washington’s most well-known vineyards. The winemaking tandem of Jason Gorski and Nick Bernstein build a nose of cassis and deep plum that includes cinnamon, burnt caramel and black pepper with a lift of fresh herbs. On the palate, black raspberry and green pepper dominate with a touch of oak influence. It’s superbly balanced and a candidate to age — should you so choose. Enjoy with executive chef Michael Toni’s Braised Veal Tortellone at The Lounge at DeLille Cellars. Qualifying awards: Cascadia International (gold) Seattle Wine Awards (gold), TEXSOM (gold), Great Northwest Invitational (double gold)
