L'Ecole No. 41 Chardonnay Columbia Valley 2016

This beautifully expressive Chardonnay offers an inviting mix of baked apple, dried mango, brioche, and stone. Complex, with excellent balance, the finish builds to a long fruit-mineral-spice aftertaste.

A blend of fruit from Schmitt, Evergreen and Oasis vineyards, this opens with appealing aromas of toast, candy corn, almond and pear. The pear and melon flavors are crisp and rounded, with a lightly creamy feel heightening the interest.
