Pepper Bridge 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

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 2008 Seven Hills Vineyard Red (Walla Walla Valley)

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 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice

Price $55

Returning to traditional fruit sources (Seven Hills and Pepper Bridge) after the freeze year of 2004, winemaker JF Pellet has crafted the finest Pepper Bridge Cabernet to date. Gorgeous aromas explode from the glass, a lush mix of flower, berry, mocha and sweet earth. Smooth and silky on the tongue, it’s a riot of berry and cassis flavor, all in proportion and… — P.G.

Pepper Bridge 2006 Seven Hills Vineyard Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $55

This signature wine from Pepper Bridge is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc. Winemaker Jean-Francois Pellet brings aromatic elegance to all of his wines, this one with a sweet hay note, and a mix of sweet grain, berry, light herb and saline flavors. — P.G. (11/1/2009)

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 2007 Pepper Bridge Vineyard Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $55

A blend of 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 48% Merlot and 4% each Malbec and Petit Verdot, this brings seductive baking spices, cinnamon and more, all of which elevate the aromas. In the mouth come fruit flavors of ripe strawberry and plum, with hints of red licorice and a pretty sandalwood note. The flavors spread evenly across the palate with a generous and spicy tang;… — P.G. (2/1/2011)

Pepper Bridge 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley)

Cellar Selection

Price $55

Sharp and tightly wound upon opening, this wine offers vivid fruit flavors of cranberry and pomegranate. Juicy and young, with the tart acidity and fruit density to cellar for a decade or more, it is infanticide to drink it so soon, but go ahead; it’s delicious. — P.G. (4/1/2012)

Pepper Bridge 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Cellar Selection

Price $50

The blend is classic Bordeaux—85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec. It’s got grip and a sensuous mix of wild herb, black olive and mountain berry. There is plenty of acid to support it, and winemaker J-F Pellet has been pulling back on the new oak, so that newer releases of Pepper Bridge are more structured and tilting more toward a… — P.G. (5/1/2008)
