This may be the most exciting bargain of these all. After all, not only did Vinous price the 2019 version at $45 – they called it “a fantastic Rhone inspired red for that price,” as did the Wine Enthusiast.
While that version was mainly Grenache and Mourvedre, this even richer 2021 vintage is mostly Cabernet and Syrah.
The winery says:
Bold and plush, the 2021 Métier Red Blend offers generous fruit aromas of blueberries and black cherries. Rich fruit flavors and lush structure combine on the palate with undeniable appeal. Fruit-forward and accessible, lively and full of delicious fruit flavors, this pleasurable, charming wine should offer satisfaction to a wide audience.
This is a very strong contender for Washington’s single best wine value – especially at the lowest price anywhere.
