L'Ecole No 41 Ferguson - 2021 (750ml)

97pts James Suckling, 96pts Owen Bargreen

Ferguson is L’Ecole’s pre-eminent Bordeaux blend, in keeping with our reputation for excellent single-vineyard wines from the Walla Walla Valley. Ferguson reflects the unique terroir expression of its microclimate and geological site.

With a flavor profile distinctly influenced by its volcanic basalt soil, Ferguson is a richly structured, age-worthy, and energetic wine offering complex, mineral-laced aromas of cassis, blueberry, boysenberry, iron, fresh tobacco, and sandalwood. Layers of black and red fruit flavors are laced with hints of espresso and framed by expressive tannins integrated with crushed rocks and graphite. Intense, racy, and structured, Ferguson’s pronounced natural acidity carries through to a compelling and enduring finish.
