2014 Andrew Will Cabernet Franc

Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Thursday, November 22, 2018 - Pulled this wine to taste side by side with Cabernet Francs made by Catena in Mendoza Argentina and Russiz Superiore Collio in Italy. The Andrew Will cost $25 and the other two around $19. Most all of the 14 people tasting them distinctively preferred the Andrew Will, myself included. Darker, denser, better structured by acidity and tannin, richer, and more delicious. Unexpectedly, the Will was also competitive for wine of the night against a dozen other wines, that included one with a 95 point score, others costing the $40 range, a good Bordeaux, and 2 Cabernet Sauvignons. Overall, a tribute to how great a winemaker Andrew Will is with Cabernet Franc, especially considering that the grapes come from the generic Columbia Valley rather than more famous vineyards in more prestigious appellations.
