We’ve seen it all now. Is…GOBSMACKED the word? Pandemonium, maybe? Dumbfounded? ANDREW WILL? 2-FER? For this…? From the ‘16 vintage? It’s anarchy. However…we did beef up the server…it’s gonna FLY, guys. WOW!! **Dismally small QUANTITIES – please jump to the site with expeditious alacrity… Ask yourself: is there some reason I don’t deserve to drink a mini-horizontal of 95 and 93+ point blockbuster Bordeaux-blend blood-sugar-sex-majik rockstar-ness from the masters at Andrew Will on Vashon Island for drastically, impossibly less than the rest of the world? Getting geeky here for a minute, Andrew Will is a legend in Washington, a small-production, dead-serious producer on Vashon Island (we encourage a Google of it!). It is one of those wines that savvy collectors keep to themselves and don’t talk about much -- more for them. Outrageously complex and powerful, with refined texture and the kind of thing easily mistaken for a $200+ Bordeaux wine. This is, well, excuse us, a pretty manly-man/sexy wine. Like the Brad Pitt character in the “isn’t Brad Pitt still hot at 55 years old” movie "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood". Deep, powerful fruits, crushed flowers/violets that might remind you of Chateau Margaux, and a wine to age for decades, if you like! The Two Blondes is probably the more sexy/approachable of the two, for the moment, a classic Right Bank style blend that is a little more opulent - but don’t think it’s not full of power, it is. The Ciel du Cheval has more minerality, it’s more tightly wound, in a $200 Bordeaux kind of way. This is a colossal no-brainer…while it lasts!
