2022 Merlot
This wine is quite pretty on the nose, with sun-baked plums, wild strawberry, tarragon, Castelvetrano olive, and milk chocolate. Plush on the palate, with black cherry, plum reduction, warm clay, bay leaf, and bittersweet chocolate. This wine is showing great now, and should improve for the next few years in the cellar.
Blend: 100% Merlot
Appellation: Horse Heaven Hills
Vineyard: 100% Champoux Vineyard
Aging: 65% New French oak for 20 months
94-96+ Points - Jeb Dunnuck
"The 2022 Merlot Champoux Vineyard (100% Merlot) is smoking good, with a gorgeous red and black fruited style as well as some chocolaty herb and graphite notes. It's rich, medium to full-bodied, has a round, supple mouthfeel, and beautiful tannins. It should shine right out of the gate yet also have a broad drinking window."
