Product notes

Our Estate Perigee captures the essence of Seven Hills Vineyard’s characteristic rich elegance, seductive aromas, and earthy structure. L’Ecole has been producing wines from Seven Hills Vineyard since 1993. We hand-select our oldest and most distinguished blocks to produce this stunning, flagship wine. Gentle handling of the fruit through hand punch downs and gravity-assisted movements ere utilized throughout the entire winemaking process. The wine was cleanly racked to 100% small French oak barrels, 40% new, with four rackings over 22 months.

(Vintage 2019)

A lovely nose of chocolate, plum and blackberry. Full-bodied with velvety tannins. Bright acidity and fresh black fruit on the palate. Layered and well composed. Subtle and charming spice. Delicious. 52% cabernet sauvignon, 19% merlot, 17% cabernet franc, 7% petit verdot and 5% malbec. Sustainable.
