2023 L'Ecole No. 41 Frenchtown Red Columbia Valley

(92 Points) Frenchtown brings Bordeaux and the Rhône together in an eight-grape variety blend that ranges from Merlot to Mourvèdre. Its fresh and floral aromas are an equally diverse mix of raspberries, blackberry tea, gardenias, lilacs and spun sugar. The wine feels fresh and clean on the palate as tart black cherry and lemon zest flavors dance about. Tannins and acidity dance a gentle waltz in harmony. — Michael Alberty -- Wine Enthusiast
