L'Ecole 41 Perigree Seven Hills Vineyard 2007, Washington

93 points | Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"The dense purple 2007 Perigee Seven Hills Vineyard Estate is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc aged for 22 months in 40% new French oak. It presents a nose of pain grille, pencil lead, mineral, violets, black currant, and blackberry leading to a wine with superb volume and concentration, impeccable balance and loads of savory black fruits. It will easily evolve for 5-7 years and provide prime drinking from 2015-2027."

"Tart and leafy, this is still resolving into a fully integrated wine. It already shows balance and depth, with a mix of plum, fig, black cherry and cassis fruit, a streak of sweet chocolate and hints of baking spice. From a great vintage, this has the balance and stuffing to age, but if you can't keep our hands off it, decant."

Perigee exemplifies this vineyard's characteristic cedary, richly structured elegance. Polished with perfumed aromas of
exotic spice, blackberry and silky black cherry fruit, this wine has an earthy, chalky minerality which exudes power
and grace on a spicy pepper and velvety tannin finish.

Winemaker Comments
Perigee is the closest point to the earth in the moon's orbit. "Closeness to the earth" is an attractive attribute for Seven Hills Vineyard, since the wine is known for its earthy structure and suggests the environmentally sound and sustainable viticultural practices we utilize.
