Founded in 1989, Andrew Will was among the first boutique wineries in the Seattle area. Owner and winemaker Chris Camarda has helped set the standard for quality in Washington with his spectacular red wines, which achieved cult status from their first release and remain highly sought after by collectors and wine connoisseurs. Camarda is renowned for his stubborn commitment to uncompromising quality. His wines tend to be elegant rather than overpowering. Andrew Will wines are perhaps the purest expression of terroir in Washington State - Camarda crafts single vineyard wines that elegantly express the distinct characteristics of the very best Washington vineyards. In the words of wine critic Robert Parker: "Andrew Will's wines have virtually perfect tannins. They are present but buffered by the loads of dominating sweet fruit. Furthermore, what is amazing about Chris Camarda's wines is that they are concentrated yet graceful. Camarda's (wines) blend power with elegance, concentration and supersweet fruit with definition. Chris Camarda is a brilliant winemaker."

AWARDS and ACCLAIMS:

2006: 

- 95 Points, Wine Spectator, May 31, 2009

“Tight, focused and distinctive, this sharp-edged Washington red shows ripe currant, spice, tobacco and coffee flavors that sneak up on you. They start slow, but swirl through the mildly grippy tannins into a long, expressive finish, making for a beautifully compact and complex wine. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2011 through 2018. 1,326 cases made. $74. –HS”

- 94 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Issue #177

“The 2006 Sorella, produced from Block 1 of the Champoux Vineyard, is the winery flagship. Saturated purple in color, the perfume is a complex amalgam of pain grille, scorched earth, espresso, black currant, blackberry, and licorice. This leads to a supple-textured wine with layers of ripe fruit, outstanding depth and concentration, considerable elegance, and a long, pure finish. It will evolve for 8-10 years and provide pleasure through 2030. $74”
