2023 vintage. Bold aromas on the nose, heavy fruit, leather, and spice on the palette, but a surprisingly smooth finish with decent tannins. Not a bad Washington Cab. — a month ago

Pretty ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Strong nose of black cherries, sweet raspberries, strawberries, light wood, spices, earth, vegetables, light barnyard and herbs.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with red cherries, strawberries, raspberries, spices, light oak, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and cranberries.

This is a tasty Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley. Showing light elegance, with a soft mouth feel.

Still young and will benefit from a few years in the bottle.

Good right out of the bottle, and shows more complexity after 30 minutes of airtime.

This 3 year old Single Vineyard is fruit forward and tangy. Spicy and entertaining.

Aged in French oak barrels (35% new) for 10 months. Unfiltered and unfined.

I paired it with cheeses and dried meats.

13.7% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

This wine has aged very gracefully. Did not decant but allowed to open in glass as we slow drank the bottle over 3-4 hours. Dark, full, dry, smooth. Outstanding! — 5 years ago

Going strong. My notes from 3 months ago still apply. Age has brought out nothing but goodness. And I’d venture there are a few more years left in it. No point in waiting though. — 6 years ago

We had the 2014 Vintage on 3/23-24/20. The second night the Burgundian characteristics came out. Dark fruit, mushrooms and cardomom. Smooth and velvety finish. A real good Pinot from Moshin. — 6 years ago

Very different from my last bottle 3 years ago. Much more refined, dull, boring, etc. Where’s Big BBQ/Cigar Zin?! — 7 years ago

Really great. Needs about 3 hours of air. So well balanced. A lot of cocoa, blackberry, garden dirt, some tree bark, some chocolate cherries, but very dark, some menthol in the background, long finish, almost coffee and cocoa, some fruits as well. Outstanding! — a year ago

Wow! This is a great wine at a smaller vineyard. A must try! I joined their wine club after having this at a steak restaurant. Can’t buy locally. Very friendly people at winery. I have order this for 3 years now & it keeps getting better with every year. This should be priced much higher than they sell this brand. A very bold, dense Cabernet. A must try! You won’t be disappointed. — 7 years ago

This is a very tasty Petite Sirah from Lake County in California.

Dry and fruity on the palate with medium acidity.

Medium plus in body with a nice, soft mouth feel.

Showing blueberries, black cherries, black currants, cedar, earth, vanilla, licorice, spices, tobacco, chocolates, light graphite and peppercorn.

Nice finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 4 year old is already drinking very nicely with nice complexity.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 45 minutes of airtime.

Would be nice to revisit it again in 3 years, and see how it evolved.

Nicely balanced and fruit forward. Easy drinking and elegant.

A small production of only 150 cases.

14.1% alcohol by volume.

Popped and poured, consumed over three days with very little evolution over that period but if I had to make a call, I would say best on Day 3. It presents a turbid, deep ruby in the glass. On the nose, purple flowers, dried leaf tobacco, tomato leaf, and freshly tilled earth. On the palate, currants, tart blackberries, kalamata olive brine, dried blood...it’s saline, sanguine and ferrous in a real way. The 2012 Champoux Vineyard is a structured, high acid/high tannin Bordeaux blend of predominately Cabernet Franc with some Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon for good measure. Long, long finish. A very earthy and mineral driven wine. Blind, there is no way I would call this New World. This bottle is yet another reminder why I truly believe Andrew Will makes some of the very greatest wines in Washington State. This has at least another decade of life left in it. — 6 years ago

California meets Northern Rhône. Beefy and savory, with black fruit and a lilac aftertaste. Still young and will probably be peaking in 2-3 years. — 6 years ago

In a great place right now. Day 1: High tannin, high acid, high alcohol, and high fruit forward sweetness all in perfect balance! Definitely recommend with some hearty food. Day 3: With a quarter bottle left the wine gained some color and has become highly aromatic. Lavender, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf with hints of jasmine. The tannins have melted away and its like biting into a perfectly ripe plum, really well done! — 7 years ago
