Note di degustazione
A blend of 70% Malbec and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Minuit displays a deep opaque core with an electric pink rim. Exploding from the glass come aromas of Chambord, black raspberry reduction and plum compote with cinnamon spices. Medium to full-bodied, the juicy palate offers a broad and structured mouthfeel with buttressing tannins that lift the mid-palate. The wind concludes with a long, lingering and ever-evolving finish.

Blueberry pie, plums, boysenberries, spices and wild herbs on the nose. Itâs full-bodied with ripe tannins and a creamy, slightly grainy texture. Plush, plummy finish. 70% malbec and 30% cabernet sauvignon. Drink now.
The 2018 Minuit comes from the Yakima Valley and is 70% Malbec and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon brought up in 50% new French oak. This inky hued effort has a great nose of ripe black and blue fruits as well as liquid violets, charred earth, and graphite. Beautifully textured and full-bodied, with an expansive yet still elegant, seamless texture, this stunning Malbec is up with the finest expressions of the grape from Washington. Delille can always be counted on to deliver classic, impeccably made wines, and they have done exceptionally well in 2018. They also pull from multiple regions, so it’s such a great education tasting through these wines when trying to understand a vintage. Their Red Mountain releases seem to be the stars of the show in 2018, but there are no dogs in this lineup. The icing on the cake is that they’re generally made in decent quantities, especially their D2 release, which is a year-in, year-out terrific Bordeaux blend.
