2015 Andrew Will Sorella Champoux Vineyard

My last note from some two years ago was less than flattering but reflected much better day two. So this time I ran it twice through Venturi and that was a good move. Black and red fruit, compelling flavors, a bit of umami (odd but good), leather and chocolate with a truly brilliant showing of acidity just at and lingering into the finish. Black cherry and cedar and a bit of vanilla. Feels like a young, somewhat big St. Estephe. Yum!! Restoring my faith in Sorella!

Almost 3 years since last time tasting. The mouth feel is what I thought most striking last time and it’s still wonderful, just not as prominent. Beautiful color, deeper flavors of cherry and strawberry, medium plus acidity, a little off in the late mid-palate but I’ll update tomorrow as I think it’s going to be better. Still a lovely wine, just not quite as tip-top.

Still surprisingly good - a little hollow in the middle, but nothing that would suggest the wine is flawed in any way. Had to use a Durand to extract the soft cork, but enjoyed the wine. Any time you can drink a wine 30 years old and it’s not off, flawed, over the hill, you have to feel pretty good. So I feel good about this.
