L'Ecole No 41 Semillon 2003

89POINTS

16^¼/20

Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesOwner Marty Clubb says they have been tightening up their viticulture over the past seven years and you see it in this juicy sémillon that mixes about 13 per sauvignon blanc into the blend for some extra lift. The Columbia Valley version is a blend of several vineyards including the likes of Klipsun, Yakima Bend Ranch, Fries Desert Wind, Charbonneau Vineyard, Double River Ranch, Vanessa's Vineyard and L'Ecole's estate plot Seven Hills Vineyard. We like the crisp vibrant entry, its fresh green apple skin and kiwi fruit flavours with just a whiff of orange rind and honeysuckle. There's a pinch of resin in its creamy finish.Tasted: 26 May 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
