Welcome to Friday and I have picked up a Right Bank Bordeaux Blend from the state Washington the 2013 DeLille Cellar D2. 57% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.

Upon opening, there is beautifully expressive dark fruit wafting over the rim of the glass with a lasting impression of blackberries, black currant, black cherry, plum, sweet ripe strawberry, cassis, cherry licorice, and sweet tobacco.

With the first taste on the palate there is lovely blackberry, black cherry, kirsch, strawberry, black currant, green bell pepper, and bit of leather, and a smokey note.

This wine is well balanced with medium + acidity and a smooth mouth feel with fine sandy tannins.

For a second lable wine this is a hell of a deal. For a young wine this is drinking well right now. I would recommend this wine all day long.

Have a great weekend. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 9 years ago

This takes "intensity" to an entirely new plane. As dark as 20 degree API crude oil (no exaggeration), concentration of pomegranate molasses. — 9 years ago

Smells like an oak bomb with some honey in the back end to the nose. More acid and light citrus finish, oak body more texture you're getting from the beginning of oak but not super oaky. Little bit of toast too. Great wine — 10 years ago

You can definitely smell the Riesling's influence at 35% and the Pinot blanc at 33% seems to do the job of sliming it out and giving it some vibrancy - then the Pinot gris and gerwurztraminer give it a bit of elegance. Interesting and delicious white. — 11 years ago
