Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $55

This nicely captures the structural strengths of the ’07 vintage. It’s a muscular wine, with excellent depth and polish. In the mouth it displays exceptional Cabernet/Bordeaux character, in the context of bright Washington fruit. Vivid and aromatic, with a lifted palate that blends and matches dark cassis fruit and mixed herbs with hints of the 50% new oak. Age… — P.G. (2/1/2011)

Pepper Bridge 2007 Merlot (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $50

This classic Merlot is roughly half Pepper Bridge fruit, half Seven Hills fruit. What is particularly striking is how it displays enticing floral aromas over deliciously thick fruit, with streaks of coffee, chocolate and forest floor delicately laid in. Complex and tight, it has the potential to cellar for at least a decade, maybe 15 years. — P.G. (2/1/2011)

Pepper Bridge 2008 Seven Hills Vineyard Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice

Price $55

This Bordeaux-style blend, from a choice section of the Seven Hills Vineyard, is fragrant with a beguiling mix of fruits, flowers and fresh herbs. Cassis and pepper, Asian spices and a lingering, textural mouthfeel, make this a wine that disappears all too quickly from the bottle. — P.G. (4/1/2012)

Pepper Bridge 2009 Seven Hills Vineyard Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice

Price $60

Right on the heels of the excellent 2008, this estate-grown Bordeaux-style blend is equally compelling. Bright and tasty fruit flavors of blueberry and black cherry introduce a lively, polished wine with a firm, complex and layered structure. Seventeen months in French oak, roughly half new, has wrapped the fruit in a nicely-layered, textural finish with highlights… — P.G. (7/1/2012)

Pepper Bridge 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Cellar Selection

Price $55

A rich mix of red, blue and black fruit opens into a sappy, spicy midpalate. The lush fruits are highlighted by a wash of milk chocolate. At first tightly wound, the wine seems to show more oak flavors with air, hinting at licorice and Bourbon barrel. — P.G. (12/31/2012)
