A cool spring, followed by a cool fruit set in June set the stage for lower yields than normal in 2006. Light crops tend to get lighter, and an abundance of sunshine and heat units in July resulted in small berry size and cluster weights. A mild August helped extend the late season ripening period into September and October. The overall season crop load was lower than normal, at 2 ½ tons per acre. Our traditional cool long harvest with no rainfall resulted in fabulous fruit quality, with bright clean aromatics and acidity in the whites and vibrant extraction and rich color in the red wines.
This wine shows aromas of ripe blackberry, alluring spice and earth. Wrapped in a core of briar fruit, this rich and expressive Syrah follows through to a balanced finish of fine, chalky tannins.

| Wijngoed informatie | "A family-owned business, L'Ecole Nº 41 was founded by Jean and Baker Ferguson. Today, the winery is owned and operated by their daughter and son-in-law, Megan and Martin Clubb. Built in 1915, the schoolhouse is located in historic Frenchtown, a small community just west of Walla Walla, Washington. Frenchtown derived its name from the many French-Canadians who settled the valley during the early 1800s. Legend has it, these men of French descent were raising grapes and producing wine. By the 1860s, nurseries, vineyards and winemaking had become a part of the regions' growing economy. The name - L'Ecole Nº 41 French for "the school" located in district number 41 - was chosen to salute these pioneer viticulture efforts. The winery is currently producing about 30,000 cases annually. Our Semillon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon are all barrel aged, creating a significant demand for barrel storage. In the fall of 2003, we completed the construction of a new concrete tilt barrel storage facility that accommodates our current inventory of over 2,000 French and American oak barrels. In the spring of 2004, we planted 1.3 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon next to the winery. We are pleased to provide visitors the opportunity to observe a working vineyard. " |
