The Pepper Bridge Cabernet Sauvignon is a New World red poured at Grappa in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood.

About the Winery
Pepper Bridge Winery was established in 1998 in the Walla Walla Valley and is owned and operated by three families. It is one of Washington’s premier producers of Bordeaux-style wines, with an emphasis on Cabernet Sauvignon. Pepper Bridge built the first state-of-the-art gravity-flow facility in Washington, moving juice and pulp by gravity rather than pumps. This gentle handling avoids harsh tannins and gives the wines their signature elegant texture.
