2019 Andrew Will 'Two Blondes' Merlot Yakima Valley

Winemaker Notes:  Blend: 58% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 4% Malbec

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Elegant with a dusty floral and oaky essence, the 2019 Two Blondes Vineyard is plummy in nature with aromas of red cherry skin and black raspberry and hints of popcorn kernel and vanilla that waft from the glass. Full-bodied, precise and focused, the wine shows nuances of baking spices on the palate along with a balanced structure of succulent tannins and energetic acidity. Concluding with a long, lingering finish, this fantastic wine continues to evolve in the mouth with persistent flavors of sweet oak and ripe, fleshy red and black fruit essence. Bravo—I'm not spitting a single drop."


Jeb Dunnuck - "The 2019 Two Blondes Vineyard comes from a site in the Yakima Valley and checks in as 58% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Malbec. It shows a cooler vibe in its black and blue fruits as well as more green tobacco, cedar, chocolate, and floral aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has nicely integrated acidity, terrific purity, and a great finish."
