this is pepper bridge merlot, and it beautifully expresses the vineyard trademarks: fresh fruit flavors of strawberry and raspberry, spread out broadly across the palate, and backed with tart acids and light tannins. there is a strong streak of asian spicebox as well, but overall the wineis very approachable, which makes it is a merlot to enjoy with rich fish, such as salmon. it's bright and lightly spicy and not too heavy.
