L'Ecole No 41 Columbia Valley Semillon 2006
Remarkably brilliant with vibrant crisp acidity, this wine shows fragrant citrus and orange blossom aromas, with apricot, peach, lychee nut, and lemon honeysuckle flavors on a mineral-rich finish. Wine Advocate The 2006 Semillon Columbia Valley contains 15% Sauvignon Blanc. It was barrel-fermented in 20% new oak and 40% was sur-lie. Light gold-colored, it offers fresh aromas of melons and honey. Smooth-textured, concentrated, and balanced, this lengthy effort would be a fine match for sea bass or rockfish. Score: 90. —Jay Miller, June 2008.Wine Enthusiast This wine is formulaic in a good way; L’Ecole “owns” Sémillon in Washington, and it is hard to think of any winery in the country that does a better job with the grape. Aged sur lie in neutral oak, blended with 14% Sauvignon Blanc and put through malolactic for added creaminess, this is a delicious, rich and succulent wine that deftly mixes flavors of nettle, lime and melon with vanilla custard and a hint of butterscotch. Score: 90. —Paul Gregutt, December 31, 2007. Customers who purchased this item also bought:
