L'Ecole No 41 Merlot Seven Hills Vineyard 2003
Walla Walla Valley, Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesThe Seven Hills Vineyard 'estate' merlot is the culmination of 14 years of work in Walla Walla. Super supple and rich the nose mixes spicy, cherry jam, vanilla with peppery leather and flecks of orange and chocolate. It's a drier version of the regular merlot with silky tannins and cool, sleek, black fruit and cocoa flavours. Its leaner, yet still muscular style, works well with food.Tasted: 22 February 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $73.45 | 750ml | speculative listing - Winspeer |
