Quite possibly my favorite Washington merlot right here, and a wine that the experienced hands at L’Ecole totally have dialed in. This is richly textured and flavored, impeccably balanced, and a perfect red with your next steak or chop off the grill! $25.95
>> 91 pts- Vinous: “Delivers some seriously good value! Rich black cherry compote and blackberry tones combine with herbal accents on the palate. Enjoy this glorious wine now and over the next 8-10 years.”
>> 90 pts- Wine Spectator: “Appealing for its well-focused currant and dusty herb accents that finish with Zesty tannins”
