T2 Cellar “Dieter’s Blend” · Candy Mountain AVA, Washington · 2021

The Moment

Some wines are made for cellars.
Some are made for celebrations.
This one is made for living.

The 2021 Dieter’s Blend from T2 Cellar is what happens when structure meets joy — a vibrant, food-loving red built for real tables, real meals, and real connection. Crafted from Candy Mountain fruit (Washington’s smallest and one of its most expressive AVAs), this limited 28-case release is equal parts intention and spontaneity.

It’s the bottle for nights when the record spins longer than expected and dinner turns into conversation.

The Blend

69% Sangiovese · 31% Syrah

Bright, lifted Sangiovese leads with acidity and red fruit clarity.
Syrah follows with depth, subtle spice, and a gentle structural frame.

Together, they create a red that feels alive — energetic, balanced, and endlessly food-friendly.

Tasting Experience

Aromatics
Fresh cherry, raspberry, and plum rise first, followed by subtle spice and a hint of savory depth from the Syrah. High-toned and expressive without ever feeling heavy.

On the Palate
Bright and vibrant with fine acidity and light tannins.
Juicy red fruit carries through the mid-palate, supported by gentle structure and a lifted, refreshing feel.

Finish
Clean, lively, and quietly persistent. A wine that invites another sip — especially with food nearby.

Why We Love It

This is what we call a true table wine.
Not because it’s simple — but because it belongs at the table.

It adapts. It lifts food. It keeps conversation flowing.
With only 28 cases produced, it’s also one of those rare Washington wines that feels deeply personal and intentionally crafted.

If you love Italian reds but want something local and alive, this is your bottle.

Perfect Pairings

Italian classics — pizza, pasta with tomato sauce, lasagna
Mediterranean plates — roasted vegetables, olives, lamb, feta
Casual nights — charcuterie, flatbreads, weeknight dinners
Best pairing of all — cooking with music on and nowhere to be

Serve slightly cool (15–20 min in the fridge) for maximum brightness.

The Vibe

Vinyl spinning.
Flour on your hands.
A glass poured before dinner is ready.

A wine that feels like home — but better.
