Tasting perfect right now. Big dark fruit cocktail, some wood and earth. 2 hour decant helped open up. Plums, chocolate strawberries, cherries jubilee, pepper, some vanilla, wood. I am enjoying this one. — 9 days ago

Have a look at my notes on the Champoux, here is same level albeit different blend with more merlot if I understood it correctly. Really good stuff. Would be probably better with 3 to 5 more years. — 2 years ago

A complex blend - day 1 was disjointed, day 2 came together. Beautiful. — 4 years ago

Blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with small amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Malbec. Grapes sourced from Weinbau, Lady Hawk, Champoux, Shaw and Obelisco vineyards. Deep Ruby, red and black fruit aromas with earthy herb notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and blackberry flavors with vanilla on fine tannins. Long finish ending with tobacco and smoky spice notes. Drink now! — a month ago

Good stuff. Restraint. Freshness. Medium body. Tightness. Feels young yet. Air it out. Drink with spag bol. — a year ago

Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc and 13% Merlot, sourced from the Gamache and Champoux vineyards. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits, floral and pronounced cigar box spice, aged in 100% new French oak. On the palate flavors of ripe raspberry and blackberry with cedar and spice. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and spice. Drink now, no further aging benefit! — 3 years ago

Horse Heaven Hills, 325 cases made. Purple red, moderate pigment extraction. Light herbaceous nose, call it tobacco light. Blackberry flavor with length on initial pour, nice round mouthfeel with fresh blackberry aftertaste. Just a tad tart. Tobacco leaf aftertaste emerges after 20 minutes with some fine seed bitterness. I might have popped this one open too early as it’s got plenty of tannins for further aging. Still, it’s got fruit to spare… — a year ago

High alcohol (15% abv) is a bit daunting but this is still a lovely wine: Deep ruby (almost purple) with beguiling aromas of violet, blackberry, black cherry, plum, Cedar, vanilla, graphite and
Blackberry jam. Long finish and lots of potential over the next 5 or 6 years — 2 years ago
