Andrew Will Red Wine Ciel Du Cheval Vineyard Red Mountain 2016 750 ML

A blend of 60% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc, 16 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Malbec, the 2016 Two Blondes Vineyard is mainly red-fruited with a core of softer expressions, more delicate than the other red bottlings in the range. The florals and spices are elevated here with velvety, ripe red fruits on the medium to full-bodied palate, with a fresh, tart line that runs through the center and on to the finish. The wine has a long, delicate finish that wears its finesse seductively and pleasingly.\n \n Producer Information\n Andrew Will Winery is a leading Washington wine producer, named after the son and nephew of founder Chris Camarda.
