2005 Champoux Vineyard Cab. Sauvignon Andrew Will, Washington State

"Named after the co-owner Paul Champoux, this vineyard was planted in 1972 on free draining sandy loam soils. Arguably fuller, rounder & riper than the 04, this 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, with an average of 25 years vine age has been matured for 21 months in 35% new french barrels.The wine is laced with blueberry, blackberry & tar notes;  Drinking now but it will age until 2015 easily."

Andrew Will wines have become real favourites here among Berrys’ staff. They enjoy the way they exhibit both New World fruity exuberance together with more than a degree of classy sinew more often associated with the Bordeaux behemoths.
