L'Ecole 41 Pepper Bridge Apogee, Columbia Valley, Washington, USA 2014

LEcole No 41 has been producing Pepper Bridge Vineyard Apogee since 1993. Apogee represents our best effort to capture this vineyard's distinctive and characteristic spicy bold aromas, dark fruit flavors, robust tannins, and rich structure. This single vineyard elegant and complex wine has brooding aromas of black cherry, cocoa, fresh nutmeg and leather. Flavors of tobacco, dark fruit and chocolate are wrapped in smooth tannins on a rich, lengthy finish.
