Dark, polished fruit leads the 2022 L'Ecole No. 41 Pepper Bridge Vineyard Apogee, with layers of blackcurrant, blackberry and plum wrapped in cocoa, tobacco leaf, baking spice and a stony, gravelly undertone. The palate feels concentrated yet energetic, its vivid acidity cutting through ripe black fruit while fine but assertive tannins shape a long, toasty, pepper‑flecked finish. This vintage comes across as both hedonistic and tightly coiled, built for those who enjoy power with real freshness and detail.
