2022 Métier Red Blend by DeLille Cellars, Columbia Valley
91 Points, Vinous
Tasting Notes
Bold and plush, the Métier Red Blend offers generous fruit aromas of blueberries and black cherries. Rich flavors and lush structure combine on the palate with undeniable appeal. Fruit forward and accessible, lively and full of delicious flavor, this pleasurable, charming wine offers satisfaction to a wide audience.
The sun-soaked Columbia Valley of Washington State provides ideal growing conditions for wine grapes, with dramatic swings in temperature from day to night. This natural phenomenon, known as diurnal shift, offers cool nights that conserve acidity and intense sunny days that infuse bold, ripe fruit flavors. The Métier label celebrates this distinctive fruit and all of the diligent hands in the vineyard and cellar that meticulously craft our wines.
Pair Métier Red Blend with roasted meat dishes such as Braised Lamb, Seared Duck Breast, Stews, and Game. Vegetarian pairings include Smoked Vegetables or Loaded Potatoes.
