Established in 1991, Pepper Bridge Vineyard is one of the older commercial vineyards located in the Walla Walla Valley Appellation.  The soils in this vineyard are Walla Walla Silt Loam, which is wind-blown glacial loess that is young and full of minerals with excellent drainage.  The vineyard sits in the heart of the valley at a low site where cool air collects.  The result is a longer maturation time for the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, allowing the grapes to build complex flavors.
