Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot.
Cold soaked for 24-36 hours, fermented for 12-14 days on skins, and aged for 18 months in 100% French oak (55% new). D2 takes its name from the “grand route du vin,” or great wine road that travels through the historic chateau region of Bordeaux. Always led by Merlot, D2 is a traditional Bordeaux-style blend sourced from over 15 of the state’s most prestigious vineyards across the Columbia Valley to create the ultimate expression of Washington State terroir. Created as a second wine to Chaleur Estate, D2 has become the winery’s most sought-after label. First vintage in 1992.
Violet Hues.
Mocha and milk chocolate notes from French oak integrate with beautiful cassis, dried cranberry, and cedar aromas in this D2. This wine is instantly delicious on the palate with an inviting warm, soft entry. It rapidly builds in fruit intensity mid-palate, offering remarkable length on the finish, with Red Mountain Cabernet (16% of the blend) apparent in the texture.
A beautiful partner for lean meats such as flank steak or bison, anything BBQ, and lighter meats such as chicken. Brie or soft ripened cheeses are also a wonderful match.
