Great value and wonderful body . Some spice with dark berries. Will try to get more for just to have on a nice night on the deck — 8 years ago
Welcome to Easter weekend and lets start the weekend off right with a wonderful Bordeaux Blend from Andrew Will, the 2011 Champoux Vinyard continues to impress. This is a right bank blend of 54% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon.
The nose is beautifully expressive with notes of blackberry, black cherry, black currants, tobacco, licorice, chocolate, herbal notes, spice, violets and fresh tilled soil.
On the palate there is well balanced notes of black cherry, blackberry, black currant, green bell pepper that I love oh so much, chocolate, graphite shavings, and floral notes.
This is a full bodied wine with medium + acidity and firm outstanding gripping tannins. This wine does not disappoint.
Everyone have a great Easter weekend and please take thing easy, be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 9 years ago
Absolutely amazing. Lots of good brett. Balanced and delicious. Great dark fruit aromas and flavors. So smooth. Medium high tannins and acidity. Perfect silky texture. A little funk on the nose and palate (positive). Aroma and flavors are out of this world. Leather bag full of cherries and raspberries. Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carmenere. Complex. Delicious 13.5% abv — 9 years ago
Closed at first. It's a little young but great potential for aging. Loved the barn aromas - hay, saw dust, leather. Earthy notes, grape vine tomatoes, mushrooms, red fruits, spicy notes and nutmeg. High acidity. Well balance and elegant. Pairs with Italian foods (tomato and cream based). — 10 years ago

Rogers riverfront bistro happy hour and wine is yummy — 11 years ago

My kind of Malbec-excellent balance, emphasis on freshness, acidity, but the black fruit shines as well, alcohol completely in check. My go to wine shop thought this was their best malbec (out of many) & I agree — 8 years ago

I've recently had Dick Vermeil and Drew Bledsoe's wines but this one gets my vote for best football themed steakhouse Cab. Well done by Dan Marino and Damon Huard (and of course the winemaker Chris Peterson). This is way too young, but I look forward to checking in on these in a few years. — 11 years ago
I do remember....what a wine! — 11 years ago
Excellent. Need to decant for 30 min for smooth finish — 7 years ago
Very complex and well-balanced at the same time. This Sauvignon Blanc has almost Old World Chardonnay taste. — 8 years ago
A fantastic red blend! Pairs well with vegan buffalo wings! — 8 years ago
Can't believe I've held on to this treasure for so long! Cedar and sandalwood on the nose. Silky with a bright and savory--almost vegetal--finish. Perfect with filet and steak-house style garlicky creamed spinach. These grapes were picked when I was still in high school! — 9 years ago
Rich, bold nose with black cherries all the way through. Love it — 10 years ago
This was a true representation of the Champoux vineyard. Yum . — 10 years ago
Aromas of cherry vanilla and maybe blueberry. Very nice smell. Spicy notes in mouth and nice smooth finish. Very rich fruit. Delicious. — 10 years ago
Buttery, and yet still fresh if served cold — 11 years ago
Great summer wine and true refreshing wine from a top notch Washington winery. It will be added to my collection. Enjoy. — 11 years ago

This is just ridiculous. Act 7. Tastes of deep figs/plums up front as if grandma just baked a pie in your mouth. Finished smooth with a tiny bit of spice and more jams that make you want to cry. More of this please. — 6 years ago
