  • 2016 Champoux Vineyard Red Wine
    2016 Champoux Vineyard Red Wine We make the Champoux blend not just because we are such big fans of the vineyard, but because of the way that Merlot and Cabernet Franc shine from this site. This wine is the alter ego to Sorella. We almost always craft this wine with a nod towards a majority Cab Franc or Merlot in this case. This wine allows us to show the full range of Champoux Vineyard. The 2016 Vintage in Washington State started out quick during the spring, but in early June the weather returned to normal and thus lead to a start date of September 12th for picking. Harvest continued until October 25th with Cabernet Sauvignon from Two Blondes vineyard coming in. Right away we saw the high potential of the fruit and how this vintage would end up being another great vintage for us. Reviews: (97 Points)...One of the finest examples of this cuvée I’ve tasted is the 2016 Champoux Vineyard, which comes from one of the top terroirs in the state and is in the slightly cooler Horse Heaven Hills AVA. Young, full-bodied, and primordial, it has incredible potential but is going to need 4-5 years of bottle age. Thrilling notes of blueberries, cassis, lead pencil shavings, and bouquet garni all define the bouquet and it has remarkable purity and elegance. It picks up more floral and high-toned notes with time in the glass and is a brilliant bottle of wine that will keep for 2-3 decades. Jeb Dunnuck - Jebdunnuck.com (94+ Points)…Opens with a rich and ripe expression of dark, dusty fruit interlaced with supporting oak tones on the nose.

  • Powers Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Champoux Vineyard Horse Heaven Hills 2016
    2016 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Champoux Vineyard TASTING NOTES Exquisite layered aromatics of blueberry, dark cherry, and cedar with hints of violets, vanilla and warm earth. This intriguing nose is followed by dense savory flavors of black currant, dark fruits, and cranberry with touches of cocoa, smoke and spice lingering on this complex palate. Firm, dusty, lush tannins are accented by hints of oak, acidity, and earthiness on the finish. As is typical of Champoux Vineyard, this is a very elegant yet powerful Cabernet Sauvignon that will cellar for many years. BLEND/VINEYARD INFO 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot, & 2% Malbec 94% Champoux Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Horse Heaven Hills 2% Champoux Vineyard Cabernet Franc, Horse Heaven Hills 2% Champoux Vineyard Merlot, Horse Heaven Hills 2% Champoux Vineyard Malbec, Horse Heaven Hills WINEMAKER’S NOTES We have been fortunate to work with Champoux Vineyard fruit since 1992 and we believe it is the most intense and one of the most expressive vineyard sites in Washington State. The varietals were harvested from late Setember to late October with near perfect acididty and fruit flavors. We used the pump-under fermentation process with PDM yeast to enhance the nice richness you would expect from Champoux Vineyard. The wine was then aged for 32 months in 55% new French Oak barrels, 25% in 2nd fill along with the last 20% in neutral French Oak Barrels. TECHNICAL DATA Release Date: January 1, 2020 Alcohol: 14% Residual Sugar: Dry Acidity: 0.64 pH 3.84 Cases: 1190 .

  • WSU Wants Wine Industry to Know It Can Help by Mai Hoang Maihoang
    WSU Wants Wine Industry to Know it Can Help By Mai Hoang [email protected] Mar 5, 2016 PROSSER — As wine grape buds start to bloom during the early spring, many growers prepare wind machines to battle overnight frost. But operating those machines drives up fuel and power costs. So Washington State University researchers spent several years measuring the cold hardiness of wine and Concord grapes. That research provided a model that can help growers determine precisely when to implement frost-prevention measures. Markus Keller, a WSU viticulture professor, and others involved in the research often get calls from people in other wine regions wondering if the model could be replicated. But he said it’s not unusual to hear from Valley growers who are unaware of the research. “There is some kind of disconnect,” said Keller, who has worked at WSU’s Irrigated Agriculture Research & Extension Center in Prosser since 2001. “How do we tell that story so everyone is aware of it?” Keller hopes a new Washington Wine Commission initiative will improve awareness of viticulture and enology research and how it can improve wine grape growing and wine production. “We are doing all this stuff and not a lot of people know about it,” said commission President Steve Warner. Communication challenges Past attempts to bring research to those in the wine industry have been fractured. Legislation in the 1980s, which established a liter tax on wine sales to fund research, also created a group of winery owners and grape growers who were to determine industry research priorities. Dick Boushey, a longtime grape grower and owner of Boushey Vineyard near Grandview, admits the group, which he was part of, never was able to fully communicate with industry stakeholders.

  • Merlot's Big Makeover
    dining guide > T A S T I N G N O T E S writers. “It was not only an opportunity veteran Merlot maker to taste some truly remarkable wines, Mike Januik but also to experience one of the most exciting regions in America,” says Brian Freedman, a Philadelphia-based writer and contributor to Mariani’s Virtual Gourmet Newsletter (johnmariani.com). Campers explored why Washington is ideal for growing this grape, with discus- sions led by Dr. Kevin Pogue, a geology professor at Whitman College and a viti- culture consultant. “In the late summer and fall, our temperatures drop off more rapidly than in California, because we’re at a higher latitude that is more similar to Bordeaux’s,” Pogue says. Winemaker Mike Januik has another theory: “[The grapes are] planted on the original root- stock, which gives them more character, more oomph.” Januik, who has been making Merlot for more than 20 years, first at Chateau Ste. Michelle and now at a winery that bears his name in Woodinville, said the quality of the fruit has increased dra- matically as the vines have gotten older. “The vines aren’t gangly like when they’re younger and they produce grapes that are well balanced, with a lot of structure,” he Merlot’s Big says. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve poured Merlot for somebody and have Makeover them say it tastes more like a Cab.” Back from the pits of wine irrelevance, Marty Clubb, from L’Ecole No 41 in Merlots are reclaiming their place in the wine Walla Walla, says Merlot is a winemaker’s dream, because it thrives in various ter- world—and Washington is producing some of roir.
