Andrew Will Two Blondes Cab '21

This Washington State Cabernet from the talented Chris Camarda demonstrates the elegance possible in Columbia Valley. The 2021 vintage offers a perfumed nose of blackcurrant, violet, and graphite that leads to a medium-full bodied palate of dark cherry, espresso, and subtle herbal notes. The wine's 93-point score reflects its perfect balance between power and finesse, with polished tannins and a mineral-driven finish that lingers with cedar and tobacco nuances. Aged 20 months in French oak (50% new), it's approachable now but built for 10-15 years of evolution. Decant an hour before serving with herb-crusted lamb or mushroom dishes.
