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 currently holds host to over six hundred wineries, each producing wines using the many classic grape varietals which flourish in the arid, dry region to the east of the Cascade mountains. Since the Washington wine industry began in the beginning of the 19th century, great efforts have been made to irrigate the semi-desert which makes up much of the state, and the results have been enormously successful in regards to creating an environment in which a wide range of grapevines can flourish. There are certain fine wineries in the wetter western region of Washington, although these make up less than one percent of the region's overall wine production levels. Recent decades have seen red wines becoming increasingly popular in the United States, and many of those produced in Washington are considered to be amongst the country's finest produce.

Country: United States

The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.
