2016 L'Ecole No. 41 Estate Ferguson Vineyard, USA, Washington, Walla Walla, Wine Review
This is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Malbec from a single vineyard in Washington. Purple in color, a bit flat and opaque. The nose is nice with black cherries, cherries, spice, tobacco and slight cedar. Full bodied. Full bodied. Firm tannins. On the palate, black cherries, cherries with underlying spice. Long finish. A bitter cherry note on the finish. This still seems to need some time or air; maybe a few more years. It should improve and then drink well for another seven to ten after that. It drinks well on its own and would work well
