Andrew Will Winery Two Blondes Vineyard Red, Yakima Valley, USA 2018

Lots of tobacco, tapenade, smoked black fruits, and iron notes emerge from the 2018 Two Blondes Vineyard, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a plush, rounded texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish. Coming from a vineyard in cooler Yakima Valley and a blend of 64% Merlot. 20% Cabernet Franc, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Malbec, this complex, rich, nicely concentrated 2018 will keep for two decades.
