March 25, 2023 - Nice fruit and balance and enough body and acidity to stay interesting
wife thought it jammy fruit bomb but went well with Argentinian steaks -

December 19, 2022 - No detailed notes. A wine that benefited from bottle age. Dark berry fruit profile with pepper and earth all finely balanced.

July 20, 2022 - Great nose. Soft, tobacco, leather, cherry in the background. Thick legs on the glass.
On the palate not as good. Somewhat thin and tart. Unbalanced. -

Full Pull Andrew Will Holiday Deals, 10/15/2018(Andrew Will Champoux Vineyard) Hello friends. [Insert whatever winter holiday you celebrate] has come early this year for Full Pull list members. The support our list members have given Andrew Will over the years has put us on Will Camarda’s nice list. (Will is the Will in Andrew Will). Today, we have a very generous holiday deal on three ‘13 beauties.Chris Camarda’s skilled hand with Champoux fruit can also be found in the Champoux bottling—a right bank ringer made from 44% Merlot, 29% Cab Franc, 18% Cab Sauv, and 9% Petite Verdot. Entirely sourced from Champoux, the average age of the vines used is 27 years. What I love about this wine is how the Cab Franc shows off. It’s not the biggest player in the blend, but Franc stakes its claim on the nose with notes of brooding fruit, leafy greens, green peppers, purple flowers, and pencil lead. Chris knows how to work with Washington Cab Franc like no other. On the palate, it’s an abundant wine on a 14.5% alcohol frame, surging with fruit and earth. The tannins are powerful, feisty yet polished; the acid is lively. It’s bold and enchanting. This is a wine that will last for a decade or two, easy. A star for your cellar.
