The 2015 Pepper Bridge Merlot is an excellent bottling which was sourced from the Seven Hills, Pepper Bridge and Octave Vineyards. The Merlot has 14% Cabernet Franc and 7% Malbec blended in. This shows perfumed red fruits and toasty oak on the nose. The palate has a smooth texture and lovely mouthfeel. Bright, mouthwatering acidity connects with red cherry cordial, black tea, and blackberry pie flavors. While this is rich it also displays notable tension. Enjoy this delicious effort over the next decade. Drink 2019-2029- 92

Purple fruits, black tea, cherry and ripe fig. This is a crowd pleaser right now with supple tannins that make this easy sipping. It's not all Merlot but rather 78% Merlot, 15% Franc and 7% Malbec.

Great palette, superb Merlot. Well constructed, few more years in the bottle will only refine its potential gifts.
