L'Ecole No. 41 Chardonnay Columbia Valley 2013

This beautifully expressive Chardonnay offers an enticing mix of tropical fruit, apple, and old world characters of flint and slate. The rich structure of this wine is finely balanced with texture and minerality, adding complexity on the full, lingering finish.

Rich and round, with spicy white pepper and clove notes around a polished core of pear and red plum flavors, gliding smoothly into a long finish marked with lacy acidity.

This warm-vintage wine strikes a perfect mix of restraint and intensity, with its abundant notes of peach and pear. It's lightly creamy in feel, with deft fruit flavors that show an exquisite sense of balance throughout.
