Pepper Bridge Merlot 2022

From the start, this Merlot offers open, expressive aromatics. Scents range from dark fruit to earthy tones, with subtle oak qualities of chocolate and warm baking spices. The forefront of the palate is a fruit basket of plum, black cherry, and blackberry, with hints of olive tapenade. Supported by mouthwatering acidity and powerful but refined tannins, this is everything you want in a Walla Walla Merlot—a true expression of the terroir—approachable now and worthy of a spot in your cellar.
