2022 L'Ecole No. 41 Estate Merlot [D93][JS93][JD91][V91] Lambrusco but a year or two

but a year or two more in the bottle will do a lot for the very long mineral finish of this youthful masterpiece

Focused by well-cut acidity

sprinting out of the gate with well-formed notes of tangerine

All of which is rounded out with the classic Juniper backbone

all emerge from the glass

2022 L'Ecole No. 41 Estate Merlot [D93][JS93][JD91][V91] Lambrusco but a year or twoProducer: L'Ecole Region: Walla Walla Valley, Columbia Valley, Washington Varietal: Merlot Year: 2022 Decanter, 93 Points "A wine from two estate vineyards, the Seven Hills and Ferguson sites on the Oregon side of the Walla Walla Valley. It shows ripe fruited depth with ample refinement through savoury herbs and deep violet florals. The palate shows richly spiced black plums, blueberry compote and a rich, sweet earth finish." James Suckling, 93 Points
