Andrew Will Two Blondes Yakima Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 92pts

92 Points Wine Advocate
Classic, expressive and dusty with a frame of juicy ripe fruit and rocky graphite essence, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Two Blondes Vineyard wafts with elegant oak tones. Medium to full-bodied, it unpacks and unwinds with beautiful savory notes with notions of black cherry and red plum followed by flavors of brown baking spices and delicate oak aromas, finishing with notions of popcorn kernel as it glides to a regal and complex finish

Consistently praised as one of the best examples of Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington state. Andrew Will's wine will over deliver with exceptional structure and finesse. Father and Son, Chris and Will Camarda are joint winemakers at the winery on Vashon Island Washington.

Andrew Will Winery has always had a focus on creating wines with a sense of place. Since the first vintage in 1989, Chris Camarda has been labeling his wines with the vineyard name on the front label to establish a sense of place from the different vineyards across Washington State. He believes that each vineyard that he works with has unique attributes that set them apart from each other.

Two Blondes Vineyard is their estate vineyard located in Zillah, Washington just outside of Yakima. The 30 acre vineyard is named after his late wife Annie and their business partner's wife Melody, both are blonde. This is the coolest site they work with and the soils are a complex mix of silty loams formed in a silty loess eolian mantle over a lime-silica-cemented durpan.

Wine Notes
This wine shows off the gorgeous fruit qualities (currant, red cherries) that pair up seamlessly with the notes of leafy herbs, cassis, graphite and floral tones. There is a plushness and concentration that exemplifies the great texture and endless finish of this always elegant wine.
