97 points,"A resounding success, the deep ruby-coloured 2017 Sorella displays beautiful purple highlights and explodes from the glass with aromas of blackberry, cigar box and dried tobacco with hints of graphite and dusty purple flowers. Full-bodied, the wine is ripe and round, with an immaculate mouthfeel, showing an impressive depth of flavour. With succulent red and black fruit expressions and soft cinnamon spice tones from oak, the wine is a whirlwind of complexity across the mid-palate. Emerging with a balanced structure and lifted tannic backbone, the wine lingers with persistence and intention, as flavours of dusty bitter dark chocolate, black plum and spiced dark cherries flutter across the finish. Bravo, this is absolutely stunning and will drink amazingly for the next two decades to come."- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 96 points,"The 2017 Sorella is a knockout blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot and equal parts Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, sourced from the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. Heady crème de cassis tones combine with suggestions of chocolate covered espresso bean, garrigue and black florals. While obviously dense, the core remains very fresh, delivering serious minerality and a lengthy finish. Brilliant to consume even now, this has a long way to go in the cellar."- Antonio Galloni's Vinous Two great reviews from the experts! Andrew Will Winery's Sorella 2017 is a Cabernet Sauvignon with splashes of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. And it looks to be one of the best vintages since its inception in 1994. The grapes were grown on the Champoux Vineyard, located about five miles from the Columbia River in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. Matured in French oak for around 19 months, this is one of the finest American wines we've ever had the pleasure of tasting. Sadly, we only received a handful of bottles of this wine and with its cult following and critic reviews like that, they are not likely to hang around for long. Chris Camarda had worked in the restaurant trade for almost two decades, when he decided to start making wine in 1989. He started in a ten-foot-wide industrial space wedged between two buildings and named it after his son Will and nephew Andrew. Andrew Will Winery. After five vintages, he moved to Vashon Island, a short ferry ride from Seattle. Chris and Will are artisan winemakers of the highest order. Despite only making around 4,500 cases a year, they have helped put Washington State on the world wine map. As the respected expert John Gilman, of View From The Cellar, explains, their bottlings"are amongst the most superb wines made in the US today and are built to age long and gracefully in the cellars and only reveal their entire complement of aromatic and flavour complexities in the fullness of time."£13.33 per 100.00ml
