One of the best wineries in Washington state, producing single vineyard Bordeaux blends from his backyard on Vashon Island. Champoux Vineyard is one of the most acclaimed in the state, with some of the oldest vines. The wine had focus and balance, really enticing nose, currants, black cherry tobacco, perfume, dust, cigar box. On the palate, the first sip felt hollow, but the second had structure, more of a medium tannin, medium acidity. What was impressive was the balance of this wine and the finish went on for a while. Andrew Will never lets me down.

Went to the brand new very impressive winery in Woodinville this past weekend. This wine stood out of the thirty plus I tried that day. Great exercise for the palate. But this cab seamed to pop, had great earth and dustiness, like the other single vineyard cabs by Januik. Chamoux just jumped with fruit and brought another dimension to the wine, great earth, acidty, tannic structure, overall balance, but then you had to bring some really appealing dark berry fruit into the equation, now thats too much. Buy some of this wine.
