The 2020 Sorella is darkly floral with a perfumed blend of dried violets and roses, giving way to hints of red plum, fig, stone dust and sage. This displays silken textures contrasted by a core of tart red and black...

I don't think the 2020 Sorella is a match for recent vintages, but it's clearly an outstanding wine. Offering ample red and black fruits as well as notions of gravelly earth, chocolate, and roasted herbs, it hits the...

The 2020 Andrew Will Sorella, a proprietary blend from the Horse Heaven Hills appellation in Washington's Columbia Valley, offers a multifaceted tasting experience as noted by several respected wine reviewers. Crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon (79%), accompanied by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, this wine is a testament to winemaker Andrew Will's dedication to quality.

Jeb Dunnuck describes the 2020 Sorella as "an outstanding wine," though he notes it may not reach the heights of recent vintages. He highlights its "ample red and black fruits" complemented by "gravelly earth, chocolate, and roasted herbs." Dunnuck indicates that the wine's "full-bodied richness, bright acidity, and firm tannins" reflect the challenging nature of the vintage, suggesting it will benefit from a few years of aging.

In an exceptional review, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awards the wine a remarkable 98 points. The review emphasizes the wine’s "fresh yet restrained" character, calling it "a gorgeous, world-class wine" with a "red-fruited core of spiced potpourri." The Advocate praises its "delicate, finessed and focused" nature, asserting that its power lies in its elegance rather than boldness. With a "seductive and lingering finish," the wine's complexity is expected to unfold beautifully by 2025.

Vinous provides a balanced 94-point evaluation, noting the wine's "darkly floral" notes of "dried violets and roses," alongside flavors of "red plum, fig, stone dust, and sage." The review appreciates its "silken textures" and "brisk acidity," making it approachable yet promising for long-term aging.

Overall, the 2020 Andrew Will Sorella is celebrated for its elegance and potential for aging, with particular praise from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate for its delicate and complex profile.
