The 2003 Chaleur Estate from DeLille Cellars is a stunning representation of the Columbia Valley’s potential to produce world-class Bordeaux-style blends. With age, this wine has developed the depth and complexity that Chaleur Estate is known for, yet it still retains its vibrancy and structure, showcasing the perfect balance between power and elegance.

The wine opens with deep aromas of dark berries—blackberry and cassis—interwoven with hints of tobacco, cedar, and earthy spice. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and structured, with fine tannins that provide a firm backbone, while a smooth texture allows the dark fruit and oak influence to shine. The wine’s acidity is well-integrated, keeping it fresh and lively, while the finish is long and persistent, with lingering notes of dark fruit, leather, and a touch of graphite.

Perfect with grilled meats, roasted lamb, or a rich beef Wellington, the Chaleur Estate 2003 is a wine that continues to evolve with age, but is already drinking beautifully. Whether enjoyed now or over the next decade, it remains a testament to DeLille Cellars’ mastery of crafting Bordeaux-style wines in Washington State.

"Amazing aromas of blueberries, black cherries, spices, sage, thyme, and violets emanate from the glass of the 2003 Chaleur Estate (red). Though this wine is densely packed with candied blackberries as well as cassis, it loses none of its elegance and charm. Extremely well-focused and detailed, it also reveals great length in its seamless finish. Drink it over the next 15 years." -Robert Parker

"Red-ruby color. Highly aromatic, claret-like nose offers cassis, redcurrant, maple sugar, herbs and a leafy nuance. Ripe, powerful and intensely flavored; this really expands in the mouth, gaining in sweetness and dimension with aeration. Finishes with broad, lush tannins and excellent length. Not at all a late-picked style of wine, and built to age."
