Andrew Will Champoux 2014

More fresh and lively than the Ciel du Cheval, the 2014 Champoux Vineyard has sensational purity in its lifted bouquet of cassis, black raspberries, violets and spring flowers. There's a touch of graphite that develops with time in the glass; it has fine, polished tannin and an elegant, silky texture. It doesn't have the heft of the Ciel du Cheval but shines for its purity and elegance.

This is a tight and linear wine with juicy and bright red berries. Shows chocolate and hazelnut undertones. Medium body, bold, noble tannins and a flavorful finish. This marries power and focus. Drink or hold.
