This is Andrew Will's own estate vineyard and the coolest site the winery works with. Chris Camarda counts it as the source of some of his most elegant wines, so think of it as a Washington red built for grace rather than heft. Camarda spent a decade buying fruit before planting Two Blondes in 2000, at 1,150 feet in the Yakima Valley, so he could choose the varieties and clones himself. He picked the spot because freezes don't threaten it and it stays just cool enough for steady, even ripening, even in hot years. The 2019 is 58% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc and 4% Malbec, which suits the site: vineyard partner Bill Fleckenstein thinks its Merlot is the best in the state. The summer ran a little cooler than the years before it, and October cold snaps forced some quick picking decisions to avoid frost. It was fermented with native yeasts, aged 22 months in French oak (only a quarter new) and bottled unfined and unfiltered, then held until early 2024 before release. Only 556 cases were made. The name? It honors two blonde wives: Camarda's late wife Annie, who stood 6'2", and Melody, Bill's wife.

More about Andrew Will

Andrew Will is the undisputed master of the Washington single-vineyard wine. Founder Chris Camarda’s Ciel du Cheval and Champoux bottlings have set the standard since his first vintage in 1989—and with credit to both Chris and his talented young son Will, who’s now at the helm, I’d argue this estate has achieved mastery on another front: elegant, graceful Washington Merlot. Once again through the prism of the single-vineyard wine, we can find a balance and tension sometimes lacking in New World expressions of this grape. We need only look up.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast duck breast with a cherry or plum sauce; rosemary-grilled lamb chops; steak frites; wild mushroom risotto; braised short ribs with root vegetables.

Tasting Profile

Expect a Washington red built for elegance rather than power: dark cherry, plum and blackcurrant with hints of herbs, cedar and gentle spice from mostly older French oak. Typically medium- to full-bodied, with fresh acidity from this cool site and fine, polished tannins, finishing dry and savoury. Think a Merlot-driven Right Bank Bordeaux with a touch more ripe fruit.
