Andrew Will Champoux Vineyard Bordeaux Blend 2006

Lots and lots of black fruit on the nose, dark purple/blue. Light mouth weight for a Bordeaux blend. It's a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, 57%, Cab Franc, 35%, and a bit of Merlot. Integrated tannins, with good balance of acidity. It went well with salami and cheese. From Horse Heaven Hills, slightly southeast of Red Mountain, it's a terrific example of Washington state's Bordeaux blend style, which I confess to liking as much as most Bordeaux I've had. And less expensive to boot, at about $60. Tasted 10/18.
