A blend of 58% Merlot, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Champoux Vineyard has already captured my heart with its delightful and lovely aromatics. It offers dusty plum, black cherry skin, blackberry essence and elements of dusty red and purple flowers along with hints of cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg and the floral element of potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with fruit, earth and subtle oak spice before displaying an impeccably balanced structure with buttressing tannins and juicy acidity. The red blend continues to evolve and unwind on the palate with a thoughtful and complex finish. Just under 7,000 bottles were made after the wine aged for 22 months in 35% new French oak barrels. It’s gorgeous, and I’m going back for another sip. When it’s released in February 2023, you’ll want to add this to your cellar. ... More details

From a top site located in the Horse Heaven Hills, the 2018 Champoux Vineyard checks in as 58% Merlot. 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 11% Cabernet Franc that spent 22 months in 35% new French oak. A beautiful bouquet of red and black currants, chocolate, cedary spice, and dried herbs gives way to a medium to full-bodied, rich, concentrated yet flawlessly balanced 2018. With ripe, velvety tannins, a round, layered texture, and a great finish, it can be enjoyed any time over the coming 15 years.

Turkish coffee with blackcurrant jelly and cigar box tones all fill the nose. Soft and round on the mouth, this is a silky and refined red blend that is loaded with decadent dark fruits and finishes very long.

The 2018 Red Wine Champoux Vineyard is dark and inward in the glass, with a youthfully coy bouquet of wildflowers, blueberry and crushed rocks. It's silky and cool-toned on the palate, with pretty red and blue fruits cascading across a core of citrus-tinged acidity. The 2018 leaves a lingering zesty tension, and lightly grippy tannins, nuances of kirsch and black currant.

For some this has become the premier vineyard in the State of WA. The recognition that Paul Champoux has received this year is very well placed. The vineyard is a few miles off the Columbia River in mid state.The seamless character of the wines from Champoux vineyard makes them easy to appreciate in their youth but after waiting for several years one can see their extraordinary transition from attractive, ripe fruit into wines of maturity and finesse. COMPOSITION: 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cab Franc, 8% Merlot AVERAGE AGE OF VINES: 26 years FINISHED WINE: Titratable Acidity: .63 g/100ml pH: 3.79 Alcohol: 14.6% COOPERAGE: Taransaud and Demptos new French 35% TIME IN BARRELS: 21 months RELEASE DATE: 10.01.08 TOTAL PRODUCTION: 1,030 Cases/750ML

Region: Washington State

Washington state is a fascinating region when it comes to American wine production, with the majority of their produce coming out of the desert-like eastern half of the state. This expansive region has a unique climate produced by the rain shadow of the Cascade mountain range, and here we find over ninety-nine percent of the state's vineyards which hold a wide range of classic grape varietals including Merlot, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and others. Today, there are over forty thousand acres in Washington under vine, and the industry of the state is going from strength to strength due to the increasing popularity of the wines which are produced here. Over six hundred wineries in the state take advantage of the well irrigated vineyards which flourish there, and these numbers are expected to grow quickly over the next decade.

Country: United States

Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.
