Cellar/Tasting Notes
Fairly deep garnet-red. Distinctive fruity, spicy and vegetal nose. Round, robust and savory palate revealing more of the nose aromatics. Structure and freshness on the finish. A good wine that will appeal to lovers of classic Medoc.

"A dark, meaty wine, very new world in its richness and opulence. It is concentrated, packed with black fruit."

A blend of 62% Merlot and 38% Cabernet Franc, La Confession possesses impressive density and richness with soft, smooth tannins. It should drink well for a decade.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2004 Champoux Vineyard is 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 22% Merlot, and 9% Petit Verdot. It spent 21 months in 35% new French oak. Less marked by oak and more complex than the Sorella bottling, it has a splendid bouquet of cedar, tobacco, vanilla, leather, cassis, and black..
