Soos Creek Red Bordeaux Blend Horse Heaven Hills Champoux Vineyard 2009
Member Review by jtryka:
The nose is a lovely combination of leather, tobacco, and a wonderful combination of sweet fruits, cherries, blackberries that just seem to play around the edges. Surprisingly, this is not a particularly fruit forward wine, instead I experienced a rush of floral notes at the outset, which was then followed by some very subdued flavors of ripe berries. The finish was quite nice, with some earthy notes accented by some cedar and a hint of anise, as the rather young tannins made for a bit of tightness that might open up with a bit of time.

External Reviews for Soos Creek Red Bordeaux Blend Horse Heaven Hills Champoux Vineyard

Chocolate, tar, blackberries, violets, and dark fruits are found in the aromas and flavors of the uncivilized 2002 Champoux Vineyard (a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc). Though pure, ripe, and dominated by fruit, this super-concentrated effort is more reminiscent of a barrel sample than a bottled wine. Hugely powerful, it will require patience. Projected maturity: 2010-2020. ** Only 4 in Stock **
