Andrew Will Red Wine Champoux Vineyard Horse Heaven Hills 2017 750 ML

Deep ruby with purple highlights, the 2017 Champoux Vineyard is a stunning success with elegance and complexity bursting at the seams. Seductive blackberry essence, dusty plum skin, dark cherries and cassis waft out of the glass with delicate dusty floral tones, dried tobacco and graphite nuances. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is balanced with rich complexity and an elegant mineral tension before offering up a clearly delineated fruit frame compounded by focus, precision and finesse.\n \n Producer Information\n Andrew Will Winery was started in 1989 and is owned by Chris Camarda.
