2002 Andrew Will - Seven Hills Vineyard Red

Loads of spices, dark berries, and notes of plums can be detected in the fabulous aromatics of the 2002 Seven Hills Vineyard. A blend of 62% Merlot and 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, its flavor profile offers loads of highly expressive black fruits dusted with cinnamon. Medium-bodied and fresh, its finish remains firmly tannic. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2018. This winery, named after Chris and Annie Camarda’s nephew, Andrew, as well as son, Will, used to produce a bevy of Merlots and Cabernets from contracted vineyards. Recently, however, it has evolved towards the production of Bordeaux-style blends that reflect Chris’s perception of each vineyard’s terroir. Klipsun Vineyard, located in the Red Mountain AVA (American Viticultural Area), remains the exception to Camarda’s newly found “meritage” philosophy. Tel. (206) 463-9227 www.andrewwill.com
