Review

2009: "2009 L'Ecole No. 41 Seven Hills Vineyard Estate Walla Walla Valley Syrah ($37, 15.0%): Marty Clubb's defining Walla Walla label turned out a chewy, stylish snapshot of one of the valley's best sites. Big and oak touched, it's full of game meat and dark spice overlaying seamless currant and blackberry fruit. The savory tones and muscle signal its classic Washington provenance." Jon Bonné, Washington Syrahs Full of Savory Spice, San Francisco Chronicle, Nov 27, 2011
