Julia Harding MW for Jancis Robinson.com reviews a selection of Cabernet Sauvignons from the Champoux vineyard in Washington State to include Powers Cabernet Sauvignon.

“Washington’s outstanding Champoux vineyard produces a clutch of very fine cabernet sauvignons particularly when the vines are more mature, the site just right and the vineyard manager a perfectionist”.

  Powers, Champoux Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 Horse Heaven Hills 18 Drink 2011-2020
Includes 2% Petit Verdot. Refined but intense dark-fruited nose. More red fruit as it opens up. A little cedary, cigar box and sweet spice. Firm and dense but smooth and supple too. Very long finish that is fluid and dark and spiced. Densely supple. (JH)
