Tasting notes
The 2020 Pepper Bridge Vineyard opens with a mix of rich plum sauce and grilled herbs, accentuated by dusty dried florals. Soft and round, it washes across the palate with masses of ripe wild berry fruits, guided by juicy acidity. Well-structured, this finishes with cooling minerality and minty freshness.

The 2020 Pepper Bridge Vineyard comes all from the estate Pepper Bridge Vineyard and is 39% Merlot, 30% Malbec, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Petit Verdot. It's another pure, dark-fruited red revealing classic aromatics (tobacco, chocolate, lead pencil, and obvious minerality), medium to full body, ripe tannins, and a good finish. It's concentrated and textured yet has no shortage of underlying tannins. Give it 2-4 years and enjoy over the following 15+.
