By now, almost everyone knows DeLille Cellars. Suffice it to say, the cat is completely out of the bag on that one. The boutique, artisan winery located in tiny Woodinville, Washington is smack dab in the middle of a Washington win streak that’s akin to Napa Valley in the early 1990s. Every passing year it seems like scores are high, demand is way up and outside money is being poured into the state to start new projects. But basically everybody is trailing DeLille.
DeLille Cellars is one of the few wineries who hold the distinction of having both a red and white wine in both Wine Spectator and Wine & Spirits’ Annual Top 100 lists concurrently. The boutique winery has wowed all who have come into contact with them, with their distinct style of making blends true to the terroir of Washington State through the European way of blending.
Robert Parker, Jr. himself became totally obsessed with the winery after visiting it one year, even going so far as to call the boutique winery, “the Lafite Rotschild of Washington State”.
But despite becoming one of Washington’s true cult wineries in a short period of time, DeLille shows no signs of letting up at all, instead forging ahead with a new project that further sets them apart from their competitors. While prices continue to balloon in Washington and wines like DeLille’s signature D2 become $50+/bottle – DeLille has launched ‘Metier’ at the exact perfect time.

A terrific value that would probably run you three times the price if it was from Napa, the 2021 Métier Cabernet Sauvignon has textbook leafy herbs, tobacco, and darker currant fruits in a medium-bodied, elegant, balanced package. It has classic Cabernet herbal, floral, spicy notes and is well worth drinking any time over the coming decade or so.
90 Points, Vinous
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Metier is unexpectedly fresh with zesty red berries, peppery florals and wild herbs. It boasts tart red fruits and inner herbal tones with mineral underpinnings, all kept nicely in check by zesty acidity. This finishes with a staining wild raspberry concentration and grippy tannins that frame the style well. The Metier Cabernet Sauvignon is produced mostly from Candy Mountain fruit.
90 Points, Wine Enthusiast
A smooth as silk mouthfeel and velvety tannins make this one easy-sipping Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark plum and red apple aromas are flanked by spicy bursts of cloves and juniper berries. Flavors of blackberries, black tea and dark chocolate lead to a long finish.

“Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose slowly unfurls to unveil beguiling floral notes of candied violets and rose oil over a core of creme de cassis, blackberry pie, and plum preserves, giving way to notions of licorice, Indian spices, iron ore, and crushed rocks. Full-bodied, the palate is jam-packed with taut, muscular black fruit layers, intertwined with gorgeous floral and exotic spice accents, and framed by firm, finely grained tannins with seamless freshness, finishing long and mineral-laced. Tightly coiled with so much latent energy waiting to explode, this is a spectacular expression of the vintage and Napanook vineyard. Still tightly coiled, give it a good 6-7 years in the cellar before broaching, and allow it a few hours in a decanter if consumed before 2032.”
Once again dialing up fruit from 1000-1500ft in elevation in the Dundee Hills, Chad’s 2021 is juicy, laser focused and roaring out of the gates. Chad tells me that similar wines (very similar wines) off this vineyard are raising their prices up to $55/bottle from $45 this year due to 2020’s lost year. But where most people are raising prices to recoup last year’s losses, the CHAD Pinot Noir price is somehow lower. A true gift from our favorite winemaker.

Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors.
91 Points, James Suckling
Chapoutier’s new 2021 release is absolutely delicious and it should have mass appeal. The wine has so much vibrancy and depth, it’s an old-vine blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan from the village of Latour de France. Beautiful deep purple in color with increasing aromas of cocoa, creme de cassis, dark plum, and black cherries. Richly textured and voluptuous on the attack, packed with black-fruit preserves, braced by a refreshing acidity and long smooth tannins that paint a silky portrait. It’s a rock solid wine from an absolute icon.
