L'Ecole #41 Semillon Columbia Valley 2011

Review:

Remarkably brilliant with rich fruit and balanced acidity, this wine shows fragrant citrus blossom, lemon and floral aromas, with melon, pear, lychee nut and key-lime flavors on a honeysuckle mineral-rich finish. - the winery

Rich in flavor and body, this wine shows a honey and lemon meringue flavor with hints of violets, fig, and melon. The barrel fermentation contributes a rich mouthfeel with a touch of vanilla and crisp Sauvignon acidity on the long finish.

This wine is a blend of several Columbia Valley vineyards, including 37% Yakima Bend Ranch, 36% Klipsun, 18% Dionysus, and 9% Vanessa's Vineyard from here in the Walla Walla Valley.
