This side project from the folks at Andrew Will is consistently one of the best values in the state. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, with coffee, cherry and savory herb aromas out front. The palate brings a sense of balance, intensity, depth, purity and sophistication.

A field blend from multiple vineyards, the 2018 Columbia Valley Red Wine is 53% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the balance Merlot, aged 11 months in neutral oak. It has a ripe, rounded, herbal style offering beautiful red plum and redcurrant fruits, leafy herbs, tobacco, violets, and cedar aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, with silky tannins and a great finish, it's a smoking value to enjoy over the coming 5-8 years.
