Summer Favorites

JOSH'S NOTES - 2025 Elizabeth Chardonnay 
This new vintage of Elizabeth is showing off aromatically. Coming from our estate vineyard, Coulee, in the Eola-Amity Hills, the diversity of the vineyard is evident in the glass. Lots of citrus - lemons, limes, even hints of grapefruit. There is a pretty sense of green apple, and the tiniest hint of straw. The palate is juicy, has tons of energy, fresh, and is screaming for food or warm weather, or both!

JOSH'S NOTES - 2025 Healy Rosé
The first glimpse into the coming warmer seasons, our new Healy Rosé is begging for it! Fresh melon, strawberry, and raspberry explode from the glass. This single vineyard, single block rosé is pleasurable. Lush and plush in the mouth, energetic, the wine has a long finish of honeycrisp apples and a hint of neutral French oak sweetness. Enjoy!

JOSH'S NOTES - 2024 Estate Red Wine
The opening of our new estate tasting room and facility called for a wine made directly from the vines surrounding it. Pepper Bridge Vineyard is a historic part of the Walla Walla Valley and I have enjoyed making wines from this site for almost my entire career. In warm vintages like 2024, these are some of my favorite wines and this shows why. Red fruit, red licorice notes, and classic herbal undertones show off from this site. Juicy, medium bodied with grainy tannins that build into the finish. Darker fruit on the palate and very pleasurable. Drink this wine now through the next 10-15 years for great enjoyment!
