May 29, 2021 - Drank with friends. Held up very well. Great example of a Washington Cab Franc. L'Ecole has been making wine for years but feel like folks are still discovering Walla Walla area and its excellent variety of wines.

April 12, 2020 - Clear appearance, deep intensity, ruby color. Nose has Med+ intensity, aromas of oak, pencil shavings, raspberry, cherry, blueberry. Palate shows dry sweetness with medium acidity, medium tannin, and medium alcohol. The body and flavor intensity are both Medium+. Pencil shavings, tart cherry, raspberry, and vegetal all show on the palate. This wine has great mouth feel and has very well balanced fruit, acidity, and tannin. The 30+ second finish is amazing. Excellent example of what a cab franc should be! Drink soon.
