L'ECOLE NO. 41

Merlot 2020

- 90 points -

Lifting up with a cool-toned freshness and dusty florals for days, the 2020 Merlot keeps me coming back to the glass. A burst of ripe blueberry and cherry greets the palate, motivated by zesty acidity as sweet spices cascade throughout. The 2020 is gently tannic yet lively and fresh, tapering off with medium length to nuances of clove and liquid lavender.
