Andrew Will Red Bordeaux Blend Horse Heaven Hills Champoux Vineyard 2009
Editorial Review by Gregory Dal Piaz:
darky almost opaque black tinged ruby - vanilla and green pepper explode from the glass, oaky smoky pipe tobaccy,balsamic vinear, cherry coke, baked plum, creme de cassis all follow - sweet attack, lots of red fruits, good acids and tons of soft tannins, medium full mouthfeel with a bit more obvious alcohol here, eucalyptus top not over the curranty fruit with notes of roast meat and vanilla, good if indistinct fruit with an abrupt finish that leaves tanin and alcohol evident. Good in it's style and not at all over blown yet still too much for me

Add your reviewgreat fruit nose....on the palatte is is very silky with hints of vanilla....very long finish
Nice wine - the Cab Franc leaves a clear taste, although its primarily Cab Sauv dominated. Cheaper than the Champoux blend, this is a nice alternative.
My favorite wine from Andrew Will - the Cab Franc dominates and is full of expression. Peppery with delicate lilac flavors. Very nice and balanced.

A Proprietary Blend wine from Washington in USA. 2008 Andrew Will Champoux Vineyard 750ml

Powerful, focused and compelling for its layers of black cherry, mineral, animal and spice flavors, swirling together on the beautifully constructed finish. This has presence, depth and distinction, with miles to go. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Caber... Wine Spectator. A Proprietary Blend wine from Washington in USA. 2008 Andrew Will Champoux Vineyard 750ml

The 2005 Ciel du Cheval is composed of 40% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc,14% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Petit Verdot. It offers up darker black fruit aromas and flavors with significantly more structure, grip, and power. It exhibits layers of spicy black fruits which should become increasingly opulent and glossy as it develops in the bottle. Give it a minimum of 5-7 years in the cellar and drink it through 2030.

The 2007 Ciel du Cheval is a blend of 45% Cabernet Franc, 40% Merlot, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 40% new French oak for 20 months. Medium purple in color, it offers up an enticing nose of pain grille, pencil lead, herbs, olives, violets, cassis, and black currant. Ripe, smooth-textured, and mouth-filling, it has enough structure to evolve for several years. This lengthy effort will offer prime drinking from 2013 to 2027.

Champoux 2007 - Andrew Will: Champoux 2007 - Rotwein von Andrew Will WineryDer Andrew Will Champoux 2007 ist ein Blend von 4 verschiedenen Bordeauxweinen aus dem Weinberg Champoux, bei Seattle. Seinen unwiderstehlichen Charme verleihen ihm sein Körperreichtum und sein wohlgerundetes Fruchtprofil. Als extra erlesene Geschmacksnuance erleben wir bei ihm einen leichten Anflug von Teer, ein Hinweis auf extraktreiche Rotweine besonders großer Jahrgänge. Hinzu kommen Aromen von Waldbeeren mit starken Anklängen von Heidelbeeren, welche einen Eindruck von Reife und üppiger Fülle bewirken.Weingut: Dominus EstateLand: USARegion: Washington StateRebsorten: 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, 52% Cabernet Franc, 21% Merlot, 8% Petit VerdotInhalt: 0,75 lAlkoholgehalt: 14,75 Vol.%Säuregehalt: 6,25 g/lRestsüße: trockenEmpfohlene Serviertemperatur: 16 - 18°CFassreife: in Barriques gereift (21 Monate) Rotwein > USA > Washington State

Lithe, focused and beautifully detailed, offering a gorgeous array of floral-accented blackberry, boysenberry and anise flavors, lingering easily on the deftly balanced finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2017. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 958 cases made. -HS (72% cabernet sauvignon, 15% cabernet franc, 10% merlot and 3% petit verdot) Bright ruby-red. Cassis, black cherry and berry skin aromas are lifted by a floral note. Supple, sweet and densely packed, with savory and floral notes adding interest to the smooth dark berry flavors, and ripe, harmonious acidity giving shape and energy to the wine. Youthfully medicinal in a positive way. Finishes with big, broad tannins and flavors of dark fruits and licorice pastille that dust the entire palate. This may ultimately merit an even higher score.
