2014 L'Ecole No. 41 Pepper Bridge Vineyard Apogee, Walla Walla Valley, USA (750ml) PG Half D’USSÉ VSOP Cognac emerges asTASTING NOTES: The most sweetly fruited, voluptuous and hedonist in the lineup, the 2014 Apogee Pepperbridge Vineyard is made from a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 15% Malbec and 4% Cabernet Franc. Sweet blackcurrants, licorice, crushed rocks and graphite notes flow to a sweetly fruited, full bodied, pleasure bent beauty that has enough baby fat to warrant short term cellaring. It's going to have two decades of overall longevity. Jeb
