The Involuntary Commitment Columbia Valley Red Blend 2022 pours a deep ruby with violet edges, hinting at both youth and intensity. Produced by Andrew Will Winery, a highly regarded Washington State estate known for its elegant Bordeaux-style blends, the “Involuntary Commitment” label was originally created to make great wine more accessible while still showcasing the same vineyard sources and craftsmanship. The Columbia Valley’s diverse soils and long growing season provide ideal conditions for ripening Bordeaux varietals with both richness and balance.

The nose opens with expressive aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, and cassis, layered with notes of dried herbs, cedar, and a touch of graphite. Subtle hints of violet and baking spice emerge as the wine breathes, underscoring its complexity.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with flavors of blackberry, dark currant, and red plum supported by fine-grained tannins and a supple texture. Bright acidity provides lift, while undertones of cocoa, tobacco leaf, and savory spice add depth. The structure is polished yet vibrant, leading into a long finish of dark fruit, earth, and subtle minerality.

The 2022 Red Blend captures both the power and finesse of Washington State Bordeaux-style wines—accessible in price, but serious in character. It is a versatile companion for grilled meats, braised short ribs, mushroom risotto, or simply enjoyed on its own as a thoughtful but unpretentious bottle.'
