Champoux Vineyard fruit produces Washington's highest-rated wines. Quilceda Creek's 100-point Cabs are made primarily from Champoux fruit. Our favorite Champoux Vineyard wines combine awesome fruit, big backbones, and value. For that winning combo, Andrew Will is unmatched.
Sineann and Soos Creek make Champoux Vineyard wines that are in a whole different league because of their stellar prices.
Sineann attracts loyal followers who love massive, full-bodied reds. It is hard to imagine bigger Washington Reds than his Champoux Vineyard wines. Washington had back-to-back outstanding vintages in 2007 and 2008 - these wines prove it.
Andrew Will (mixed cases OK)
A truly epic wine. While the blend changed in 07, the luscious nature of the wine did not.
Heady aromas immediately ooze from the glass - crushed red and black fruits intertwine with baking spices and you're hooked. A supple wash of red berries, black cherry, sweet blueberry and ribbon of black currant persuades your palate. With decanting, the bottom notes and finish of the 07 Champoux flourishes and fattens, providing dark chocolate-covered cherry accents that are sensational.
The 2007 Champoux is ultra-polished while maintaining the structure that Andrew Will wines are famous for. - Marcus
Soos Creek (mixed cases OK)
From the same vineyard that makes Quilceda Creek Cab and Andrew Will Sorella comes this indie-sensational Champoux Cab. Delivering lipsmacking, balanced, age-worthy Cab for $36 isn't easy, but Soos Creek nails it. To me, the hallmark of Champoux Cabernet is the big, beautiful black cherry core. Soos Creek's Cab adds sweet blueberry and blackberry with vanilla mocha and dried herbs. Supple and totally delicious. -Marcus
Sineann (mixed cases OK)
Dark, voluptuous, powerful. This is what Merlot can be. Huge black cherry nose with graham, toast, and a hint of smoke. Sweet black cherry/plum flavors, accented by plum liqueur, Chambord, and pepper. Tannins are present, with a very slight grip. The finish has good acidity to balance the gobs of fruit - surprising for such a huge wine. - Jean
Sineann (mixed cases OK)
Huge, burly, chocolate cherries and spice. Under the deep black fruit scents, hints of bacon fat, lilac, and graphite. Gushing black cherry, black plum, blackberry jam, and just a hint of savory umame fill the mouth. A very full bodied, black fruit dominated, unusually plush Cabernet Franc.
If this is indicative of the 2008 vintage, it's going to be huge.- Jean
In case you wondered, "Champoux" is pronounced "shampoo"
