Community Tasting Note

• bluehorseshoe Likes this wine: 94 points

  April 17, 2024 - Wanted to try this to compare it to the Red Mountain Reserve I recently tasted. The Champoux is two years younger, which is very evident in the development of the wine. Ultimately, it is possible the Champoux will surpass the Red Mountain Reserve. That would be a tall order in my book, but is possible. I find this wine to lean more toward the fruit spectrum than the Red Mountain, which has a beautiful streak of minerality and complexity in mouthfeel not yet showing in the Champoux. I expect this to change as the Champoux evolves over time. The Champoux is more herbaceous and muscular than the Red Mountain Reserve. The fact that both of these wines were acquired at a price of $35 each as futures is astounding. If you haven’t tried a Soos Creek wine I encourage you to do so. The QPR on their wine is as good as it gets.
