The grapes for this wine are sourced from the Champoux Vineyard, located in the Horse Heaven Hills appellation of Washington State. The vineyard features well-drained soils and a warm climate, which allows the grapes to ripen fully and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, with a rich and full-bodied style. It boasts flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice, with a long and satisfying finish.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Andrew Will Champoux Vineyard Red is a delightful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc.On the nose, notes of ripe red fruits, dried herbs, and subtle oak combine with a hint of violets. On the palate, concentrated flavors of black cherry and cassis mingle with hints of espresso, tobacco, and earthy leather. All these flavors are carried by a structured tannic backbone, leading to a long and smooth finish. Overall, this is a beautiful and elegant wine that has a great potential for aging.
