Andrew Will, Red Wine Champoux Vineyard, 2006
A mature, fully resolved Washington Bordeaux blend now around twenty years old — a rare chance to drink a benchmark bottling at its peak rather than guess at its future. Chris Camarda founded Andrew Will in 1989 and has always bottled by vineyard, chasing a Washington sense of place rather than California weight. This wine comes from Champoux Vineyard in the warm, windswept Horse Heaven Hills, planted on sandy, gravelly soils, and is a Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend rounded with Cabernet Franc and a small amount of Merlot. At this age the tannins have softened and the fruit has turned savory and complex. Sourced privately as a back-vintage; drinking beautifully right now.
