(L’Ecole No 41 Estate Merlot Seven Hills Vineyard Walla Walla Valley) An aromatically fascinating wine with earth, high toned red fruit, and chocolate. The palate is simultaneously rich and understated with focused fruit flavors and a drawn out finish. A persistent earth component makes for a mesmerizing wine. 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged 18 months in French oak (40% new). 14.5% alcohol. 1,100 cases produced.

Appears fully mature but no obvious browning. Nice body and finish. Another good seven hills Merlot.

Stellar. Worth the wait. The bouquet almost outshines the wine. Very dark and bold for a merlot. Spices with black licorice.

Perfect amount of age on this one. It was smooth and delicious, tannins died down
