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."
Another of Washington's most revered vineyard sites developed only a scant five miles from the wind-whipped Columbia River Gorge, the well drained soils have supported the viticulture developed by Paul Champoux since 1972 making it one of the oldest vineyards in Washington. Andrew Will has used fruit from here since their first vintage in 1989.
