2024 Rosé
Columbia Valley AVA
The 2024 Rose possesses fantastic depth, precise balance, and a lovely bouquet of delicate fresh fruit. Wild red huckleberry, strawberry leaf, key lime, and an appealing sauvage note combine to create a lively nose, with great fruit and savory elements. The palate is juicy and complex with watermelon, raspberry and kiwi flavors. The acid-driven finish is lifted by subtle floral undertones like Fuchsia or perhaps Wisteria. This wine has easy appeal, with great tension and energy. Drink in its youth or cellar a few years to see how this wine evolves.

This 2023 DeLille Cellars Rose is a complex blend of near equal parts Grenache and Mourvèdre and a touch of Cinsault. Wild mushroom and pretty red florals mark the nose alongside red cherry candy and strawberry notes. The palate is beautifully textured and fresh with good length and depth. Melon and ripe red fruits combine with stony minerals and damp earth accents on the palate. Drink 2024-2031

Behind the Wine
2024 Rosé
True to our old-world approach, this blend is crafted in the traditional Bandol style of Southern France. The fruit is specifically selected to be a part of this blend long before harvest, & our methods are intentional – making it what we call an “honest” Rosé. This is a balanced style of Rosé that retains crisp acidity & begs to be served al fresco.
Vineyards
The 250-Acre StoneTree Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope is ideal for growing Mourvèdre.
Winemaking
