Really enjoyed this full bodied wine for todd's birthday dinner at L'ecole — 10 years ago
Amazing, big Merlot. Very well developed. Fruit, spice and earthiness/tobacco on the nose, super leggy, beautiful color, velvety on the tongue-with a licorice finish (interesting to me). Gets better the more it breathes. Swirl often. — 11 years ago

L'Ecole means "The School" for those of you French challenged. On the nose, dark currants, smoke, grilled meats, black licorice anise, white pepper, milk & dark chocolate, dry powdery soil with stones & dark decayed flowers. The palate is rich & thick. Dark currants, blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, strawberries after it opens up, dark chocolate, mocha, caramel, violets, dark flowers, dry stones with dry top soil, grilled meats, pepper & black licorice anise. Still quite big...needs time to develop. Good round acidity and lush, sexy long finish. — 8 years ago

Second course at L'Ecole - favorite wine of the night — 10 years ago
2012 vintage- nice pepper/oak/fruit on the nose and great firm structure. Could bottle age or drink now. Would love to try it in another couple years. — 10 years ago
A truly formidable white. It's not too dry, and slightly fruity. For a white, it's a bit on the pricier side but definitely worth it. A must try. — 11 years ago
Best white wine in Washington state? Yes! Perfectly balanced, incredible fruit. Elegant. Spot on with Dungeness crab!! — 11 years ago
