  Nice, but not really happening anymore. All the fruit is long gone.

  Soft nose. Soft pallet. Plum on the nose. We served with Ribeye and expected a boulder flavor. Could definitely serve this with chicken or fish. Hint of chocolate in taste. Good, but not our favorite L'Ecole.

  I really enjoyed this bottle, much better than the first bottle I had. It is drinking really well now. Nice dark fruit, balanced acidity with fine tannins, satisfying finish. Paired great with a grilled steak.

  This is a terrific example of Walla Walla Washington Merlot.
  Nose: Blackberries, with dark chocolate nibs and hint of spearmint.
  Palate: Black plum, hazlenut chocolate, old leather, black olives and a hint of spearmint. This wine has med+ tannins, med. acidity, a nice round mouthfeel and a long finish.

  Pretty standard lecole offering (yum). Maybe peaked last year? Still good minerals and red mountain lusciousness.
