2008 Côte Bonneville
Our flagship wine is the spectacular product of a beautiful growing season. The power of both Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is obvious in the deep garnet color, effusive aromatics, rich palate, and texture. It is another gorgeous Côte Bonneville expression of DuBrul Vineyard.
Blend:
64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot

Along the same lines, with more heft and mid-palate richness, the 2008 Côte Bonneville is a knockout Washington State blend that shows a level of polish and purity that's not often found in the state. Comprised of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40 % Merlot and aged in primarily new French oak, it delivers gorgeous creme de cassis, lead pencil shavings and spice box qualitiesas well as medium to full-bodied, building richness that comes throughon the mid-palate and finish.
