Flavors of bold dark fruits and charming notes of baking spice combine with a juicy midpalate and pleasantly firm, dry finish.
Fruit-forward and accessible, lively and full of delicious fruit flavors, our red blend is a pleasurable and charming wine.
Bright and silky on the palate, this wine balances generous fruit flavors on a lively structure and a lengthy finish.
About Us
ABOUT
The sun-soaked Columbia Valley of Washington State provides ideal growing conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, with dramatic swings in temperature from day to night. This natural phenomenon, known as diurnal shift, offers cool nights that conserve acidity, and intense sunny days that infuse bold, ripe fruit flavors. It is from this foundation of distinctive fruit that we meticulously craft our Métier, acknowledging the very best of the hands that diligently work the vineyards and the cellar.

Review by Patrick Comiskey
"This attractive new cabernet from DeLille has a lovely, mildly backward scent of pine, pepper, and tobacco. The flavors reflect a dark cherry cast, but delivered firmly, with grippy cherry-skin tannins."

"A terrific value that would probably run you three times the price if it was from Napa, the 2021 Metier Cabernet Sauvignon has textbook leafy herbs, tobacco, and darker currant fruits in a medium-bodied, elegant, balanced package. It has classic Cabernet herbal, floral, spicy notes and is well worth drinking any time over the coming decade or so."

"Based on Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, the 2021 Metier Red Blend is a consistently outstanding wine and has upfront blackberry like fruits, complex notes of peppery herb, leather, and earth, medium to full body, ripe tannins, and outstanding length."

“A smooth as silk mouthfeel and velvety tannins make this one easy-sipping Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark plum and red apple aromas are flanked by spicy bursts of cloves and juniper berries. Flavors of ripe blackberries, black tea and dark chocolate lead to a long finish.”

Review by Eric Guido
"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Metier is unexpectedly fresh with zesty red berries, peppery florals and wild herbs. It boasts tart red fruits and inner herbal tones with mineral underpinnings, all kept nicely in check by zesty acidity. This finishes with a staining wild raspberry concentration and grippy tannins that frame the style well. The Metier Cabernet Sauvignon is produced mostly from Candy Mountain fruit."
