Red Wine | Merlot Columbia Valley | L’Ecole No. 41

        Merlot.

        Aged in French oak barrels, both new and second-use, for approximately 18 months.

        Deep ruby red.

        It presents a rich and expressive nose with aromas of red and black fruits, such as black cherry, plum, and blackberry. Notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, spices like cinnamon, and a hint of vanilla are also perceived. On the palate, the wine is smooth and well-balanced, with round and well-integrated tannins. Flavors of ripe fruits, such as plum and cherry, combine with nuances of chocolate, roasted coffee, and spices. It has a fresh acidity that brings vitality and a long, persistent finish with subtle oak touches.

       Roasted or grilled red meats, lamb, poultry, pastas with rich sauces, stews, and aged cheeses.

      Columbia Valley, Washington.
