L'Ecole No. 41
Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Walla Walla Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Let breathe for an hour or so, but was underwhelmed by the power and complexity of this wine. Dark red, almost purple sight, very nice, medium bodied mouth feel and texture, well-balanced with medium tannins. Palette wasn't as interesting- I got some dried cherries, gravel, medium finish length of medium- complexity. Did I miss something here?

Getting that vegetal green pepper aromas that I dislike. Picked too young? Better on the palate with blackberries and chewy chocolate and firm tannins.

I haven't had many Northwestern Cabs. Can't go much more than 89 points on this, sorry if I'm offbase.

Complex and different cab. Great after decanting for a few hours.

Great stuff. Paired with Bryan Flannery's hanger steaks. Dark fruit, good acidity, medium plus tannins that were well integrated. This will be awesome in five to eight more years.
