Champoux Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

9.2

Moderate ruby/violet hue. Blackberry, graphite, vanilla, and hints of mint are evident on the nose. On the palate, it’s medium to full bodied with bright acidity, 14% alcohol, and a long finish featuring prominent, chalky tannins. It is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from 30 year-old vines in the famed Champoux Vineyard in Horse Heaven Hills. This vineyard is also the source of several 100 Parker point Cabernets from Quilceda Creek Vintners. It’s aged 30 months in 100% new French oak and then in bottle before release. It’s a wine which straddles the poles of New World power and Old World finesse and represents an incredible value for such a high quality terroir. — 6 years ago

Just as Quilceda Creek has a distinct aroma, so does Leonetti. Tobacco, pencil shavings and cassis. Smooth and satisfying. — 9 years ago

9.1

Restrained compared to the Quilceda Creek wines I have had previously. Medium bodied lacking somewhat cassis berry notes. Nicely balanced, some herbaceous notes, medium non aggressive tannins. Overall very satisfactory. 2011 vintage. — 8 years ago

I have a couple of tasting notes here on QC but of older vintages. The youngest one I have is 2007. All of their premium cuvée. I have not tried their others but would imagine they are pretty good. Sorry can't be more help.
