Displays an elegant combination of ripe red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, accompanied by subtle floral notes, soft spices, dry tobacco and a delicate earthy background. Aging in oak adds nuances of cedar and vanilla without dominating the whole.
It is silky and refined, with soft but well-defined tannins. It has fresh acidity and a juicy fruit core, balanced by mineral and spicy notes. Long and harmonious finish, with a structure that allows a good evolution in the bottle.
It is an elegant expression of one of the winery's most personal projects: a wine made exclusively from the Two Blondes vineyard, owned by Andrew Will's own family, located in the Yakima Valley, Washington. This vineyard was planted in 2000 with a selection of Bordeaux varieties and has been managed ever since according to sustainable viticultural principles, resulting in a distinct and consistent identity over time.
The 2017 blend reflects a meticulous balance between Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, with proportions adjusted according to the personality of each vintage. The winemaking philosophy is based on minimal intervention in the winery, separate fermentations, and controlled aging in mostly used French oak barrels to respect varietal purity and the character of the vineyard.
Two Blondes 2017 stands out in Andrew Will's portfolio as a wine that combines structure, finesse, and authenticity, showcasing the potential of the alluvial and clay soils of the Yakima Valley. It is a serious and expressive red wine, designed to evolve elegantly in the bottle and demonstrate the depth of one of the most understated yet consistent terroirs in the American Northwest.
