L'Ecole No 41 Apogee Pepper Bridge 2002
Walla Walla Valley, Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesNorm McKibben planted the original ten acres of Pepper Bridge back in 1991 on three feet of wind blown loess over sedimentary rubble. The '02 Apogee a blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc reflects the soil in its elegant Bordeaux style. Look for a fragrant, peppery, black fruit and coffee aromas with more black berry fruit and earthy licorice leather notes. Very refined edges with soft slippery tannins. Impressive mouthfeel and finish.Tasted: 21 May 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $74.95 | 750ml | Speculative Listing - Winspeer |
