DeLille Cellars named Top 100 Winery by Wine & Spirits

Drink wine from one of the world’s Top 100 Wineries right here in Woodinville! We are honored to announce DeLille Cellars’ presence on the 2022 Wine & Spirits Top 100 list.

This year, Wine & Spirits reopened its NYC office to blind taste and evaluate close to 10,000 wines from around the world. Wines were assessed solely based on appellation, variety, and regional distinction. 2022 marks DeLille's fifth year as a Top 100 Winery. (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2022)

DeLille Cellars is one of six wineries in Washington State and one of two producers in Woodinville to achieve a spot on this highly coveted list. Chateau Ste. Michelle, Gramercy Cellars, L'Ecole No 41, Saviah and Sleight of Hand are also Top 100 Wineries this year.

“Our editors consistently rated certain producers highly, and we have chosen those 100 wineries to profile in our Annual Buying Guide and to pour at our Top 100 event,” said Joshua Greene, Editor, and Publisher of Wine & Spirits Magazine. “They are part of a very tight competitive set, and one thing they all share in common is a commitment to the place where their wines grow. Their wines are more delicious for it.”

Drink Top 100 Wine for Just $39 This August

In celebration of Washington Wine Month, enjoy D2 for just $39 (regular price $50). An acclaimed blend of 13 iconic Columbia Valley vineyards, 2019 D2 showcases an inviting freshness and pronounced herbal quality on the palate that leads to a structure that is refined despite the wine’s youth. Notes of cranberries, roasted coffee beans, cassis and burnt orange are highlighted by deep, rich barrels.

D2 takes its name from the grand route du vin, or great wine road that travels through the historic chateau region of Bordeaux. Always leading with Merlot, D2 is a traditional Bordeaux-style blend sourced throughout Washington State. Created as a second to Chaleur Estate, D2 has become the winery's most sought-after label. 

Grand Ciel: A Top 100 Wine

We are delighted to share 2016 Grand Ciel Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon received 94 points from Wine & Spirits and was named a Top 100 wine of 2022. 

Displaying classic varietal notes of blackcurrants, cedar and graphite on the nose, the 2016 Grand Ciel Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon displays refinement throughout.  Concentrated and obviously structured for the long haul, this wine is wonderfully integrated, with great purity and focus in its youth.  This wine beautifully represents the quality of the vintage and the impressive excellence of this estate vineyard.
