Grenache-Mourvèdre Blend

Sourced from our Estate Seven Hills Vineyard, each varietal in this elegant winery-exclusive blend brings unique nuances: beautiful red fruit and floral notes from the Grenache, inviting dark fruit, and savory flavors from the Syrah, while the generous portion of beguiling Mourvèdre adds spice and peppery notes. Amazingly versatile, this aromatically complex wine is a wonderful fit for a range of cuisines. 

White Blend

Washington State’s winegrowing region is ideally suited to maximize the full expression of Syrah. Spicy, rich, and complex, with soft tannins and bright acidity, our Columbia Valley Syrah is the perfect food pairing wine.

Evergreen Vineyard is a high-elevation, cool-climate site with broken caliche (sediment
of calcium and magnesium carbonate) and fractured basalt soils producing beautiful
Chardonnay with vibrant aromatics, crystalline acidity, and intense minerality.

Merlot Blend

Merlot and Cabernet Franc shine at our Estate Ferguson and Seven Hills vineyards. This is our second ever 50/50 blend of these two noble varietals made in a classic Right Bank Bordeaux style. 

L’Ecole No 41 has produced this old vine, crisp and aromatic Vouvray-style Chenin Blanc since 1987.

L'Ecole No 41 is recognized as one of Washington State's top producers of excellent Merlot and this wine delivers with great structure, color, and balanced acidity.

Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

L’Ecole N° 41 has been producing Pepper Bridge Vineyard Apogee since 1993. Apogee is our expression of this vineyard’s distinctive and characteristic spicy bold aromas, dark fruit flavors, robust tannins, and rich structure.

This wine is a blend sourced from prestigious vineyard sites representing four unique soil types in the Walla Walla Valley. Its old-world structure, dense dark fruit flavors, and elegant tannins exemplify the best of Walla Walla.

Sémillon Blend

Luminesce is our white Bordeaux blend, perfectly balanced by the rich fruit profile of Semillon and the crisp, floral, and mineral notes of the Sauvignon Blanc. This is a very unique wine for L’Ecole since it’s produced exclusively with fruit from our Estate Seven Hills Vineyard.

Rosé

Alder Ridge Vineyard has been a reliable source of fruit for L’Ecole for many years. This Grenache block is managed with the goal of producing a classic Provence-style Rosé, part of our Heritage Collection wines.

Washington State’s climate and soil is ideally suited to maximize the varietal characteristics of Syrah. Crafted from some of the earliest Walla Walla Valley Syrah plantings, this wine manifests old world attributes of earth and spice, in combination with the new world profile of bold, expressive fruit.

L’Ecole No 41 is recognized as one of Washington State’s top producers of premium Merlot and this estate vineyard blend represents our highest expression of this noble varietal. The elegance and old-world structure of Seven Hills Vineyard adds complexity to the power and minerality of Ferguson.

Red Blend

Our Estate Perigee captures the essence of Seven Hills Vineyard’s characteristic rich elegance, seductive aromas, and earthy structure. L’Ecole has been producing wines from Seven Hills Vineyard since 1993. We hand-select our oldest and most distinguished blocks to produce this stunning, flagship wine.

Frenchtown, Walla Walla Valley’s first settlement, was founded by French Canadians in the early 1800s. A thriving viticulture and wine making community was established in the Valley by the 1860s. This Frenchtown wine salutes these pioneers. With the highest quality in mind, this blend offers exceptional value for its price.

Adjacent to Red Mountain, Candy Mountain is south-facing with a gentle, 5% slope. The soil is almost all blow sand, typical for this area. The dry growing conditions and high heat units produce wines similar in style to Red Mountain, rich in extraction with ripe fruit flavors and robust tannins. Candy Mountain Vineyard, planted in 1998, is owned by Premier Partners and managed by Tom Waliser.

For over 40 years, L’Ecole has built long-term partnerships with the oldest and most proven vineyards, providing access to some of the best fruit in the Columbia Valley.  With an average vine age of more than 20 years, this wine shows a classic Cabernet Sauvignon profile of firm structure, integrated tannins, and dark expressive fruit.

Some of the very best Chardonnays in Washington State are grown in the slightly cooler growing conditions of the Yakima Valley and in the northern latitudes of the Columbia Valley.

Frenchtown, Walla Walla Valley’s first settlement, was founded by French Canadians in the early 1800s. A thriving viticulture and winemaking community was established in the Valley in the 1860s. Our Frenchtown wine salutes these pioneers. This inaugural bottling of Sauvignon Blanc showcases the best of this variety as it expresses itself in Washington State.

Since its inaugural vintage in 2011, Ferguson has quickly become L’Ecole No 41’s pre-eminent Bordeaux blend, furthering our reputation for excellent single-vineyard wines from the Walla Walla Valley. Ferguson reflects the unique terroir expression of its microclimate and geological site. This wine shares its name with our Ferguson Estate Vineyard.
