Former sommelier Chris Camarda’s Andrew Will Cellars got started in 1989 and has become one of Washington State’s more interesting and highly-rated wineries over the past half-decade or so. Chris makes four different Bordeaux blends from great vineyards in the Yakima Valley. Chris makes each of these wines using exactly identical techniques - same fermentation temperatures, barrel mix, racking, aging regeme, etc. - to highlight the unique qualities of each vineyard.
“The 2006 Two Blondes Vineyard is sourced from a vineyard in Yakima Valley owned by Camarda. It is a blend of 43% Cabernet Franc, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 28% Merlot. It offers up aromas of balsam wood, cinnamon, sage, incense, black cherry, and black currant. This is followed by supple, ripe wine with fine-grained tannins, savory flavors, and excellent balance. Dense and concentrated, it will continue to blossom with another 2-3 years of bottle age and offer a drinking window extending from 2011 to 2023.”Wine Advocate 92+ points
