The vineyard supplies grapes to many of Walla Walla’s best wineries; L’Ecole does a bang-up job, placing dark, rich, roasted coffee flavors from new oak barrels against sweet, open, raspberry/cherry fruit. This new vintage is still angular and jangly; give it a few more months in the bottle and it will smooth out into a luscious delight. ——P.G.(9/1/2002)—— 91
