L'Ecole "Ferguson" 2015 Walla Walla, Washington

Winemaker's Comments

Ferguson is L’Ecole N° 41’s newest single vineyard estate Bordeaux blend from the Walla Walla Valley. In the tradition of Perigee – Seven Hills Vineyard and Apogee – Pepper Bridge Vineyard, Ferguson reflects a unique micro-climate and geological profile. This wine shares its name with our newest estate vineyard, also called Ferguson, of which L’Ecole is the sole wine producer.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec.

Tasting Notes

Ferguson’s flavor profile is distinctly influenced by its basalt soil. This wine offers complex aromas of espresso, tobacco, and dark mineral –laced fruit. Wild blackberries and dusty tannins
integrate with flavors of flint and graphite on the palate. Concentrated natural acidity leads to a robust and lingering finish.
