(L"Ecole No. 41 Estate Perigee Seven Hills Vineyard) Hello friends. I love writing about L’Ecole No. 41. Not only because they’re Washington stalwarts who have been doing it – and doing it well – for a very long time, but also because they offer a roadmap for how Washington wineries can mature and evolve and maintain relevance. I feel like Marty Clubb and his team nail a few important principles: 1. It all starts with the land. Focus on estate vineyards. 2. Stay loyal to the vineyards and wines that brought your initial success, but don’t be afraid to expand and innovate. 3. Quality will out. Trust your own assessment of quality more than the whims of fashion, and that good enough wines will always find a market. Today we’re offering a trio of wines that encapsulate these principles; one from an old estate vineyard, one from a new estate vineyard, and one wine that combines the two.See key for # of bottles currently available.

Blackberry, softening tannins. Good balance, but a little ho hum.

Three years since my last bottle. Ageing in glass really has done nothing. So, same rating.

Baking spices and blueberries. Great drink ability but a little lacking in finish/structure.
