This past weekend was the Fall Release here in Walla Walla. A weekend of new wines debuting all across the valley. Despite the forecast, we ended up having perfect fall weather, no rain, just sun and wind, typical Walla Walla. The nice days made getting out and tasting new wines even more enjoyable.
At Pepper Bridge we released our
2006 Reserve. It is an excellent finale for the 06 vintage. Its full of dark red fruit with long tannins and lots of complexity, a very well balanced and elegant wine.
Reserve is a fitting title with this wine, in my opinion it is the best wine from the 2006 vintage. We poured Reserve all weekend for old friends and new visitors and the response was fabulous. Everyone loved the new wine, along with the 06 Merlot and Cab of course. Hopefully we will have more occasions to pour the Reserve over the next few months. Certainly the staff
will have no complaints in tasting more Reserve! The other big news of the weekend was the unveiling of the new barrel room for
Amavi Cellars. Our sister winery is moving to the southern neighborhood and this weekend we welcomed visitors and tasters in the new barrel room.

2007 vintage was the focus of the Fall Release for Amavi, both 07 Syrah and Cab, and for the Coin Club members, the 2007 Les Collines Syrah. Saturday, the Amavi Coin Club had a party to celebrate the new site and the new wine club wine, Ceres. It is a blend of 50% Cabernet and 50% Syrah and all of the fruit comes from our
Les Collines Vineyard.
This wine has yet to be bottled but Ray Goff was on hand to pull barrel samples of this new wine for all to taste. A fun treat for all of the fans of Amavi wines. At the moment there is not much to see of the new tasting room, just a concrete wall, but hopefully we will be able to host Spring Release in the new building.
Then visitors can get their Pepper Bridge/Amavi fix without having to drive across town. Both Pepper Bridge and Amavi want to thank all of our club members and visitors for the support and enthusiasm this weekend. We look forward to seeing everyone for
Holiday Barrel in just a few short weeks when we will be tasting 2008 out of barrel!
