L'Ecole No 41 Cabernet Sauvignon - 2018 (750ml) Corsica The 2009 Pinot Noir HorseshoeAll Cabernet brought up in 40% new French oak, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla Valley is slightly more expensive than the larger production Columbia Valley release, but I think its a better wine in 2018.

It shows the pure, elegant style of the vintage nicely
