1997 Andrew Will Merlot Pepper Bridge Vineyard - USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Walla Walla Valley (1/4/2010)
The last bottle I opened was lovely on the nose but rather nondescript on the palate. This bottle shows younger than that one - fragrant purple fruit, floral notes (think rhododendron or violets) on the nose with a little something saline on the backend. The palate is very nice with smooth, fully resolved tannins, moderate body and plenty of fruit that matches the nose. The acid smooths this and lifts the tone of the flavors, but is very much in balance.
