Episode 256: Pepper Bridge Winery 2007 Walla Walla Valley Merlot is what we have on the table today. It is blended with Cab Franc, Malbec and Cabernet. Winemaker Notes: Densely packed, luscious flavors of ripe raspberries, currants, and Italian plums explode in the palate of our 2007 Merlot. Hints of cinnamon and flower petals mingle with touches of dark chocolate. Rich, layered and concentrated, this plush Merlot finishes with a core of dark red fruits and a long, persistent, velvety texture!!!
