2006 Pepperwood Grove Merlot

Monday, April 13th, 2009

88/B+

Tasted by Mike Supple - 11 Mar 2009

Bright ruby color in the glass. Youthful aromas of raspberry, red cherry and blackberry with a touch of vanilla. A tiny hint of sugar on the palate makes the fruit very juicy. Lush raspberry and blackberry are supported by a hint of ripe tannins. The fruit is balanced fairly well by a little scorched earth and vanilla on the finish.
