L'Ecole No 41 Merlot 2002

Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesThe Columbia Valley merlot is a blend of vineyards from Walla Walla Valley, Columbia Valley, Red Mountain and Yakima Valley. There are small amounts of Seven Hills Vineyard cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon and amazingly carmenère. The nose is very hedonistic. Look for ripe cherries and cream with an all-spice undertone. After that black plums and black raspberries dominate with just enough juicy cranberry fruit to keep the finish interesting. Very solid Washington merlot.Tasted: 27 May 2005Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
