L'Ecole #41 Perigee Walla Walla 08

56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc Made with fruit from the Seven Hills Vineyard. Perigee exemplifies Seven Hill Vineyard's characteristic cedary, black cherry elegance. Polished with perfumed aromas of exotic spice, velvety blackberry and silky black cherry fruit, this wine exudes power and grace on an endless, earthy finish.

From the winery: "Perigee is the closest point to the earth in the moon's orbit. "Closeness to the earth" is an attractive attribute for Seven Hills Vineyard, since the wine is known for its earthy structure and suggests the environmentally sound and sustainable viticultural practices we utilize."

"This vineyard, planted in the wind blown loess of geologically young, mineral rich soils, is one of the Walla Walla Valley's most acclaimed vineyards. Perigee is a blend of the oldest and most distinguished blocks from our Estate vineyard, renowned for its rich elegance, seductive aromas and complex, silky finish. L'Ecole N? 41's partners in Seven Hills Vineyard include Pepper Bridge Winery and Leonetti Cellar."
