Soos Creek 2005 Champoux Vineyard Red Wine Red (Horse Heaven Hills)

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Soos Creek / Champoux Vineyard Red Wine

This 95% Cabernet Sauvignon perfectly captures the vineyard’s strengths: lush, ripe, fleshy fruit that shows perfectly ripened flavors of cherry and cassis, bolstered by ripe, chewy tannins. It’s substantial but not tiring; the balance of fruit, acid and tannins holds it together through a spicy, lingering finish. It’s just a delicious wine, and one that should cellar well also.
