Andrew Will
Founded as relatively recently as 1989 by restaurateur Chris Camarda, the picture above highlights how close to the terroir and free from ostentation the early beginnings of this increasingly legendary winery were!
Very much a passion project with no shortage of ambition behind it, the name Andrew Will is a simply combination of Camarda’s nephew Andrew and, now finally at the helm of the property which bears his name, son Will Camarda. Proving himself to be a winemaker of uncommon talent, the young Will is continuing the work of his father with diligence following the trajectory of this estate which is already, according to William Kelley (Wine Advocate), producing “some of the finest (wines) to be found in all of North America”.

Vinous (91)
Bright ruby-red. High-toned, slightly porty aromas of blackberry, blueberry and licorice. At once silky and penetrating, with the superripe dark berry and violet flavors saturating the palate without leaving any impression of heaviness. This highly concentrated, long wine displays palate-saturating tannins that are serious but not dry, reaching the front teeth.Inc. TAX€1,559.74 -

Flirting with perfection, the 2016 Sorella checks in as 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% each of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, and the balance Petit Verdot. Coming all from the Champoux Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills, its saturated purple color is followed by a La Mission Haut Brion-like bouquet of black and blue fruits, gravelly, minerality, smoke tobacco, and chocolate. Deep, multi-dimensional, full-bodied, and with beautiful complexity, it’s a magical wine as well as the finest wine from this estate to date. Bravo!Inc. TAX€881.62 -

A resounding success, the deep ruby-colored 2017 Sorella displays beautiful purple highlights and explodes from the glass with aromas of blackberry, cigar box and dried tobacco with hints of graphite and dusty purple flowers. Full-bodied, the wine is ripe and round, with an immaculate mouthfeel, showing an impressive depth of flavor. With succulent red and black fruit expressions and soft cinnamon spice tones from oak, the wine is a whirlwind of complexity across the mid-palate. Emerging with a balanced structure and lifted tannic backbone, the wine lingers with persistence and intention, as flavors of dusty bitter dark chocolate, black plum and spiced dark cherries flutter across the finish. Bravo, this is absolutely stunning and will drink amazingly for the next two decades to come.Inc. TAX€586.73
