DeLille 2020 Le Dessein Red
Formerly marketed as Métier, this GSM blend is a meaty, serious red with a lovely mix of savory and fruit-driven flavors. Blueberries, black cherries, cassis, strawberry leaf and a touch of mineral all combine and lead through a powerful finish. Boushey, Stone Tree and Ciel du Cheval vineyards contributed the fruit, and the overall blend is beautifully handled. Enjoy this immediately or give it another few years of bottle age and try it against your favorite high end wine from the Rhône.
