#30 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2022
The 2019 D2 aromas dance effortlessly between savory and dried fruit characteristics. Cranberries, roasted coffee beans, cassis, and burnt orange are highlighted by deep, rich barrel tones of nutmeg, vanilla bean, dark chocolate, and clove. As the wine develops in the glass, the fruit profile shifts between red and dark fruits, a trademark of D2 that we love. An attractive freshness and pronounced herbal quality on the palate lead to a refined structure despite the wine's youth. Be confident that this blend of 13 iconic vineyards throughout the Columbia Valley will cellar for 15+ years.

Cherries, currants, chocolate biscuits and sage on the nose of this polished, layered red. It's full-bodied and bright, with medium-firm, fine-grained tannins. Fresh finish. 56% merlot, 32% cabernet sauvignon, 6% malbec, 4% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc. Try from 2026.

The 2022 D2 is youthfully coy. It slowly emerges from the glass with blackberry, sweet sage, chalk dust and dried flowers. This is a soft-textured and pliant effort, with soothing roundness and mineral-inflected wild berry tones lifted by cooling acidity. Dusty tannins linger as the 2022 leaves a hint of violet candies and an air of lavender and citrus through the long, gently tannic finale.
