Founded in 1992 by Jay Soloff, winemaker Chris Upchurch, and Charles and Greg Lill, DeLille Cellars pioneered Bordeaux-style blends in Washington State (both red and white), inspiring Robert Parker, in a visit to the original Chateau in Woodinville, to proclaim DeLille Cellars the “Lafite Rothschild of Washington State.”

DeLille Cellars has crafted over 200 wines with successive vintage ratings of 90+, totaling over 800 individual 90+ scores from leading critics. DeLille Cellars holds the coveted position in the ‘Top 100’ Guides of Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast for both red and white wine (D2, Signature Syrah, Chaleur Blanc), as well as being honored as a Wine & Spirits Top 100 Winery (2017-2020 and 2022) and Wine Enthusiast Wine Star – Top Five American Wineries. DeLille Cellars was one of the first five wineries in Washington State to receive Robert Parker’s 5-star/Outstanding rating
