The 2008 vintage of Champoux Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a deeply hued purple wine that is nearly opaque.  The aromas are rich and fragrant, displaying blackcurrant, plum and violets along with a hint of anise.  These notes are confirmed on the palate with an added depth of blueberry and vanilla set within well structured tannins and a long, lingering finish.  Drinkable now but worthy of cellaring until 2020.
