Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Displaying a core of red fruit draped in potpourri spice overflowing with dark cherries, the 2017 Two Blondes Vineyard Cabernet Franc exudes supple yet complex, healthy fruit. Medium-bodied, precise and quality-focused, the palate doesn’t offer much of the bell pepper flavors associated with Cabernet Franc. Taut and well-balanced on the mid-palate, the wine has a beautiful structure and lingers on and on with a long, elegant, silky finish. This bottling is going into my cellar. 1,555 cases made.

• Jeb Dunnuck: The 2017 Cabernet Franc Two Blondes Vineyard is another beautiful wine from this team. Notes of violets, spring flowers, cedary incense, and leafy herbs as well as a beautiful red and black fruit quality all flow to a medium-bodied, seamless, elegant wine with terrific balance and a great finish. It’s going to evolve for a decade or more.

Producer Information

Andrew Will Winery was started in 1989 and is owned by Chris Camarda. The winery was named for nephew Andrew and son Will. Andrew Will was launched out of a love for wine that Chris developed while working in the restaurant trade for almost 20 years. Named after his son Will and nephew Andrew, Andrew Will has been a major contributor in putting Washington State on the map as a world-class wine-producing region. Andrew Will wines are labeled by vineyard with each wine a different makeup of the Bordeaux varietals. These vineyards, all in the Columbia Valley, include Camarda’s own estate Two Blondes. He is part owner of the Champoux Vineyard and sources from Ciel du Cheval Vineyard. They make about 4500 cases of wine. In addition to the blends, Andrew Will makes from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and Sangiovese from fruit grown at Ciel du Cheval.
