Winemaker's Comments

For 40 years, L’Ecole has built long-term partnerships with the oldest and most proven vineyards, providing access to some of the best fruit in the Walla Walla Valley. With average vine age of more than 20 years, this wine shows a classic Merlot.

L’Ecole N° 41 is recognized as one of Washington State’s top producers of premium Merlot and this estate vineyard blend represents our best. The elegance and old world structure of Seven Hills Vineyard adds complexity to the earthiness and minerality of the basalt soil from Ferguson.

Fractured basalt – Estate Ferguson Vineyard 60%
Wind-blown loess – Estate Seven Hills Vineyard 40%

Tasting Notes

This elegant Merlot reveals aromas of clove, dark fruit, cedar, and earth. The rich texture of this wine is elevated by dense flavors of black cherry and pomegranate on a complex mineral finish.
