L’Ecole #41, Walla Walla Valley (Washington) 2018

 L’Ecole’s “Perigee” shows an appetizing red color that pulls you right in.  The wine’s silky, smooth texture caresses the taste buds and adds a wealth of flavor marked by dark berries, a hint of plum, and a suggestion of milk chocolate.  Balance is the key to this red blend’s success, as aroma, texture, flavors and a generous finish all work together like a team of skilled dancers.  The blend is comprised of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc, 9% Petit Verdot and 9% Malbec.
