2021 Hors Categorie WE 98 750ml

Experience one of the most exceptional expressions of Washington State winemaking with the 2021 Hors Catégorie 750ml, a Wine that has earned an extraordinary 98 points from Wine Enthusiast (WE 98). Produced in extremely limited quantities from the revered Hors Catégorie Vineyard in the steep, rugged slopes of the Walla Walla Valley, this release represents the pinnacle of high-altitude, Rhône-inspired craftsmanship.

In the glass, this Wine is powerful yet refined, opening with intoxicating aromas of blackberry, cassis, wild herbs, violets, graphite, and cracked pepper. The palate is luxurious and deeply layered—showcasing concentrated dark fruit, velvety tannins, and remarkable minerality. The structure is bold but impeccably balanced, carrying intense flavor through a persistent, elegant, and almost endless finish.

A Wine of this caliber is ideal for aging, promising decades of evolution. It also pairs beautifully with braised lamb, filet mignon, truffle dishes, roasted game, and rich aged cheeses. Collectors and enthusiasts alike regard Hors Catégorie as a benchmark bottling—one of the most sought-after Wines from the Pacific Northwest.
