LEcole No. 41 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley, Washington

Description

L’Ecole No. 41 is recognized as one of Washington State’s top producers of Bordeaux varietal wines, a reputation furthered by this current vintage of Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery’s two treasured estate vineyards come together to create this powerful wine which promises to improve for decades. The elegance and old-world structure of Seven Hills Vineyard adds complexity to the power and minerality of Ferguson vineyard’s basalt soil. It has an aristocratic structure, displaying aromas of dark fruit, espresso grounds, savory herbs, and dried roses underpinned by an iron backbone and graphite minerality. Robust tannins with intricate layers in the mid-palate are balanced with natural acidity leading to a robust, powerful finish—drink now or cellar for years to come.

NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive wine.
