L’Ecole No. 41 2012 Chenin Blanc, Columbia Valley, $15
By Great Northwest Wine on August 19, 2013
Best Buy! Few are as dedicated to the noble Chenin Blanc as L’Ecole’s Marty Clubb. This longtime Walla Walla Valley winery has produced a Chenin since 1987. This vintage uses grapes from four vineyards in three appellations. It opens with aromas of grass, lime, apple blossom and pear, followed by refreshing flavors of white peach, Asian pear and Waldorf salad. Clean, bright acidity lifts the fruit in this deliciously dry white wine.
Rating: Excellent
Production: 3,850 cases
Alcohol: 13.5%
