L'Ecole No. 41 Merlot 2017 Review
Soft and dry with a good grip on the palate, this wine is a nice example of balanced American Merlot. It’s earthy and smells like blueberries and fresh soil. The acidity is sound, keeping the wine harmonized. This would be great wine to share with friends, paired with a plate of cheese on a weeknight after work.
