L’Ecole No. 41 2006 Fries Vineyard Sémillon (Wahluke Slope)

Country: US / Fries Vineyard
Variety: Sémillon Washington
Winery: L’Ecole No. 41 / Wahluke Slope

This is ripe and pungent, a rich and fruit-driven mix of fig, peach and melon. There are interesting herbal highlights, and more acidity than in the past. The thyme and rosemary streak continues into and through the finish, while the fruit maintains its power and polish, with just the lightest barrel influence perceptible in a kiss of toast.
