Item Description

The winner will receive a "Trifecta" of wine from L'Ecole N° 41.  From the Library, the Walla Walla winery is donating a 3-year vertical of one of our most esteemed wines in magnum (1.5L) format. While Washington has the luxury of amazingly consistent growing seasons the 2005, 2006, & 2007 vintages have been widely acknowledged as a magical trifecta not to be missed. Estate Perigee Magnum Vertical, which is accompanied by a custom, handmade wooden box, consists of Seven Hills Vineyard - Walla Walla Valley 2005 (93 W&S, 92 RP, 90 WS, 90 WE); 2006 (93 W&S, 93 RP, 90 WS, 93 WE); 2007 (93 W&S, 93 RP, 92 WE).                                                                                                                                                                                                                           L'Ecole Nº 41 is known for producing superior quality wines that are rich, flavorful and full-bodied. Their dedication to making premium varietal wines begins by obtaining the highest quality fruit. Recent vineyard investments and longstanding relationships with some of the most distinguished growers in the region have provided L'Ecole with the viticultural management critical to fine winemaking. No less important—and instrumental to our success—is their philosophy of traditional hands-on winemaking. The winemakers believe in harvesting ripe fruit and the gravity fed crusher and gentle press operations limit the use of abusive pumps. Flavor and tannin extraction are further controlled by hand punch-downs during fermentation. In combination, these techniques allow limited or no red wine fining and filtration. L'Ecole's commitment to quality is exemplified by our membership in the Washington Wine Quality Alliance.
