L'Ecole No. 41 Merlot Columbia Valley 2016

Layered with enticing aromas of black cherry, rose petal, and plum, this full bodied yet balanced Merlot shows layers of baking spices and cocoa with a seamless finish of fine-grained tannin.

Toasty and plummy, this is impressive in its lean, angular texture, gliding with sleek elegance before finishing with firm tannins and a mild tobacco-leaf note.
