2022 | L'Ecole No 41 Pepper Bridge Apogee | Walla Walla Valley CrossBarn The wine predominantly shows notesA sweet, ripe blackberry pastille aroma joins forces with a dusty mineral note similar to the white dust that coats driveway gravel. Blackberries dominate the palate, as well, joined by bursts of black licorice and thyme. Apogee offers a rare combination of dazzling acidity and grippy tannins that will make you think about laying down a few bottles for posterity. Enjoy from 2027 to 2042. 93 Pts Wine Enthusiast
