L'ECOLE NO. 41

Merlot 2019

- 91 points -

A perfumed mix of wild blueberries, lavender and sage are contrasted by hints of camphor as the 2019 Merlot Columbia Valley blossoms in the glass. This is soft and textured with a cooling wave of red and blue fruits carried across a core of brisk acidity. The 2019 finishes lightly structured and long, while leaving sweet inner herbal tones to linger.
