Since the late 1980s, Andrew Will has championed a "site over winemaker" philosophy, establishing an iconic stature through pure expressions of the Columbia Valley. Their mission reaches its peak with Sorella, a flagship Cabernet blend that serves as a liquid map of the hallowed Champoux Vineyard. By prioritizing the volcanic soils of this "Grand Cru" site, Andrew Will has created a domestic icon that consistently delivers First Growth pedigree; indeed, Wine Advocate has validated this excellence with a staggering track record of 94-99 point ratings nearly every year since its inception.

What makes Sorella so special is its remarkable restraint and architectural finesse, standing in stark contrast to the often opulent, high-alcohol profiles of Napa Valley’s blue-chip Cabernets. Instead of raw power, Sorella offers a sophisticated "Left Bank" sensibility more in line with the floral elegance of Margaux or the structured precision of St. Julien. It is defined by savory graphite, vibrant acidity, and silky tannins—qualities that have cemented its reputation as one of the most consistent and age-worthy American flagships in existence.

The 2020 Sorella is a masterwork of this restrained philosophy, hitting the palate with a balance of power and grace that feels both muscular and refined. Sourced from the oldest vines in the Horse Heaven Hills, it leads with a signature bouquet of cassis and crushed violets, supported by a structural backbone built to evolve for decades. For the serious collector, this vintage represents the definitive statement of Washington winemaking: a wine of class, mineral depth, and timeless sophistication.
