| 2004 Andrew Will Champoux Proprietary Red Blend | 750 ML | $54.99 | 93 Points! Robert Parker's Wine Advocate # 172 Aug 2007 Reviewer: Jay Miller. The 2004 Champoux Vineyard is 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 22% Merlot, and 9% Petit Verdot. It spent 21 months in 35% new French oak. Less marked by oak and more complex than the Sorella bottling, it has a splendid bouquet of cedar, tobacco, vanilla, leather, cassis, and black currants. This is followed by a concentrated, dense wine with gobs of flavor, a velvety texture, excellent integration of oak, tannin, and acidity, and a seamless, 60+ second finish. It will evolve in the cellar for 5-7 years but is difficult to resist now. Andrew Will Winemaker: Chris Camarda | http://www.andrewwill.com/ |
