So, so big. Their cab sauv and Merlot are elegant and soft & im surprised at how tannic and huge this was. Still very good but a bit abrasive with no decanting

This is a gorgeous example of how beautifully Cab Franc does in Washington State. Violet & black tea notes with a soft and beautiful finish. L'Ecole never disappoints!

Smells of black licorice and blackberry. Flavors of leather and tart cherry. Nice wine to have for a birthday celebration.

2012 cab franc vintage. Jalapeño, pepper and dried berry on the nose. Much more subtlety on the palate - structure from the tannins, softened by minty blueberry and black tea.
