Imagine for a moment that Napa's most famous Cabernet vineyard produced a Cab from one of Napa's most celebrated wineries for less than $40...actually, it's unimaginable.
But in Washington, that unimaginable combination is very real. The most famous and celebrated Cabernet vineyard in Washington, source of multiple 100-point Quilceda Creek Cabs and amazing Andrew Will Sorellas (including the 99-point 2019), is the one and only Champoux. Andrew Will's Champoux Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is real and real-ly delicious—we know because we've tasted it. Get it while you can!
2019 was an exceptional vintage in the Andrew Will cellar and particularly for Champoux vineyard. We've tasted the 2019 Champoux blend and Sorella and this apple didn't fall far from those trees, if you catch our drift. The hallmark of Champoux Cabernet is its unstoppable fruit purity—black cherry, black raspberry, and cassis shine together here—and its plushness. This is super-supple-smooth, carrying that delicious Champoux fruit plus accents of nutmeg and tobacco through the building finish.
Also 94+ points from Wine Advocate and "Bravo!" if you're keeping score.
My first Andrew Will wines, the 2002s, totally rocked me. They were unlike anything I had ever tasted and the pinnacle for me was 2002 Champoux.
As much as I love Andrew Will’s Champoux Vineyard blend, since the early 2000s it has transitioned to a Merlot/Cab Franc-based wine instead of a Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine. Not mincing words, I prefer Cab as the backbone of Washington reds and I especially love Champoux Cab.
It was right around then that the winery announced they’d stop making variety-based wines and instead make only vineyard-based wines. For more than a decade, that’s what they stuck with.
Then they reincorporated single-variety wines at a lower price tier: Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc, and Merlot, all labeled as Columbia Valley. The best of them, while still labeled as “Columbia Valley,” were 100% Champoux Vineyard, perhaps THE greatest/most well-known Cabernet vineyard in the state. It wasn’t a secret–we certainly wrote about the impeccable fruit source–and finally the winery seems to have acknowledged that it makes a hell of a lot of sense to put Champoux on the label!
