Our 2018 Pepper Bridge Vineyard Syrah is rustic and juicy. Crushed berries, flint, brambleberry and a hint of leather fill the palate. This is a full bodied wine with excellent balance and concentrated mouth-filling flavors that leads to a lingering finish.

Production Notes

A mild wet winter led to a cool wet spring. With bud break at a near normal pace we headed into June with yet more rain. July and August really heated up with temperatures over 100°F and smoky skies. September revealed ideal conditions for a beautiful uneventful harvest.

Vineyard Notes

Pepper Bridge Vineyard is in the center of the Walla Walla Valley, providing the vineyard site with deep soil deposited by ancient flood waters that passed through the area eons ago. The soil type is Walla Walla Silt Loam, which consists of windblown glacial loess and silt deposited from the flood waters. The vineyard is “LIVE” and “Salmon Safe” certified, adhering to rigid sustainable farming practices that are third party certified. Precipitation will average 12-15” of rainfall, occurring almost entirely in the winter and spring months.
