A showy yet precise 100% Cabernet from Delille's Red Mountain estate site Grand Ciel, planted in 2000. Red florals leap forth backed by whispers of cassia bark, red currant and Montmorency cherries with clove. The palate is marked by dark, ripe raspberry and blackberry flavours, and heady, savoury notes of sumac, clove, and wild fennel carry the wine to a balanced, harmonious marriage of Red Mountain structure and ample freshness. That a wine this youthful offers so much is a testament to the terroir and winemaking of Jason Gorski. ... More details

This is polished and perfumed, exuding sandalwood, cloves, blueberries, blackcurrants and myrrh. Touch of eucalyptus. It’s full-bodied, layered and classy, with firm, fine tannins supporting the spiced fruit. Long finish. From a single plot of estate-vineyard cabernet sauvignon. Try from 2026.

92-94 Last of the 2020 barrel samples, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Ciel Vineyard has outstanding aromatics of blackcurrants, chocolate, roasted herbs, and chalky minerality. These carry to a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, structured wine with building tannins and a great finish.

The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Ciel is a total pleasure on the nose, marked by cascading florals and peppery herbs, and energized by a whiff of sweet spice. This impresses with its energy and verve, sweeping across the palate with silky textures contrasted by tart red and black fruits. Juicy acidity maintains a lively personality throughout, as the 2020 leaves the mouth watering for more, despite its edgy tannins. This is an easier-drinking and more accessible edition of Grand Ciel, yet no less compelling than usual.

Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon

By far and away the most recognized and widely grown red wine grape varietal in the world is the Cabernet Sauvignon. First cultivated in the 18th century in France, this wonderful cross of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc grapes has long since been the most important varietal for red wines across the globe. Now grown everywhere from its native France to the furthest reaches of the New World, Cabernet Sauvignon is adored and prized by wineries for its hardiness and resistance to rot, as well as its large and sharp flavors and wonderful capability for fine aging Indeed, many of the finest wines of history and the modern age would be simply unimaginable without Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with the famed wineries of Bordeaux and other important regions using it as the primary grape in their oak aged produce. High tannin levels, acidity and powerful flavors are the characteristics most commonly associated with this varietal, however, when blended and slowly aged, it is capable of a world of flavors and aromas unmatched by any other grape.

Region: Washington State

Since it began in the 1820s, wine-production in Washington state has gone from strength to strength, with many of the finest United States wines coming out over the past twenty years hailing from this region. Today, the state is the second largest US producer of wines, behind California, with over forty thousand acres under vine. The state itself is split into two distinct wine regions, separated by the Cascade Range, which casts an important rain shadow over much of the area. As such, the vast majority of vines are grown and cultivated in the dry, arid desert-like area in the eastern half of the state, with the western half producing less than one percent of the state's wines where it is considerably wetter. Washington state is famed for producing many of the most accessible wines of the country, with Merlot and Chardonnay varietal grapes leading the way, and much experimentation with other varietals characterizing the state's produce in the twenty-first century.

Country: United States

For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.
