7 Incredible Red Wines From Washington to Buy Now

Robb Report — Baker and Jean Ferguson founded L’Ecole 41 in 1983, and today it is one of Washington’s oldest family-owned and family-run wineries. Their daughter, Megan, and her husband, winemaker Marty Clubb, joined the family business in 1989. Besides making and selling wine, the couple has been active in local wine associations as well as the Washington Wine Institute. Their Pepper Bridge Vineyard wine is a single-vineyard Bordeaux-style blend composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc. It introduces itself with aromas of rose petal, cassis, black plum, and a touch of eucalyptus. Soft and round in the mid palate, it has flavors of brown baking spices, dark cocoa powder, black raspberry, and black currant.
