Tasting notes
The 2022 Apogee Pepper Bridge Vineyard tempts the senses with notes of blueberry sauce and molten chocolate lifted by dried violets and stone dust. It is soothingly round and spry, with crisp acidity and cool-toned wild berry fruits splashing across the palate. Nuances of tart blackberry mix with rosemary and sour citrus as the 2022 finishes long, full of tension yet only gently tannic. This is a gorgeous vintage for Apogee, a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 10% Malbec and 4% Cabernet Franc.

All from the famous site, the 2022 Apogee Pepper Bridge Vineyard blends 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 10% Malbec, and 4% Cabernet Franc into an elegant, medium-bodied offering of soft red fruit with a plush midpalate. Herbal hints of cedar and sage play along the edges, accentuating dusty tannins that finish with grip. This should shine best in the next 5-7 years and be able to cellar well a good 20.
The 2022 Apogee Pepper Bridge Vineyard is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 10% Malbec and 4% Cabernet Franc. It’s scented of blackcurrants, blueberries, charcuterie and licorice.
