2022 Pedestal
- Drink or Hold -With grapes from Dionysus, Weinbau, and Candy Mountain, the 2022 Pedestal Merlot adds 17% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot, creating a wine of tremendous richness, full-bodied weight and length. Fermented in big oak upright tanks, it offers a perfumed bouquet of sage and black cherry, gunsmoke, oak spice, and refined tannins. Age 15-20 years.
Deep and brooding, this wine reveals aromas of blackberries, dried figs and roasted walnuts, wrapped with sweet spices and earthy undertones. The palate is bold with velvety tannins. A core of dark fruit gradually unfolds, leading to a smooth, lingering finish.
