Involuntary Commitment is a project from winemaker Will Camarda. Fruit is sourced from only premium vineyards in Washington State. Grapes are always handpicked and are made in a minimal intervention style that mimics the philosophy embraced at Andrew Will. The goal behind this project was to embrace wines made to be enjoyed any day of the week and with food in mind.
Taste: "The 2020 Red Blend is a fantastic entry-level red blend by one of Washington’s great young winemakers, Will Carmada. Mocha, anise, baking spices and suggestions of tar all come together brilliantly. Firm tannins and good tension meld everything together very well. Enjoy this beautiful wine over the next seven years.”

Pairing: Pair this as you would a Right-Bank Bordeaux, anything from beef pot pie, beef stew, braises (see below for a braised beef short rib pairing), pot roast, duck, mushroom, lentil, kale, and hard cheeses. Burgers of all kinds work magically here too- so whether you love beef or portobello, it’s an easy win on a weekday night. Tacos, gyros, and korean bbq are also delicious alongside this charming red.
