A bold, polished red blend from one of Walla Walla’s premier estate producers. The 2022 Eleanor marries power with finesse, showing the kind of depth and elegance that Caprio Cellars is celebrated for.
Taste
Dark fruit and savory spice lead the way—think blackberry compote, black plum, and cassis layered with graphite, cocoa nib, and a dusting of clove. The palate is rich and full-bodied with refined tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, graceful finish that hints at espresso and cedar.

Caprio Cellars, a family-owned estate in the heart of Walla Walla, is committed to crafting expressive, sustainably farmed wines from their four estate vineyards. Led by winemaker Emily Kiefer, the team emphasizes transparency, hospitality, and sustainability in every bottle. Caprio has earned a loyal following for its estate-grown blends that reflect both site and vintage.
Why We Love It
This is a powerhouse red with polish—built for special dinners but drinkable enough to enjoy now with a good decant. We love the seamless integration of structure and richness, and the fact that it’s made by a Walla Walla winery with deep roots and serious heart. A cellar-worthy wine that also impresses in the glass today.
