2019 2019 Pedestal
- Winemaker Michel Rolland
- Appellation Columbia Valley
- Varietal Merlot
Michel Rolland, Pomerol vintner and consultant to many of the world's top wineries, provided the vision for this limited production Merlot.
Tasting Notes:
PDFAn opulent wine with a core of dark cherry aromas and ripe blackberry flavors framed by notes of bittersweet chocolate and a pleasant hint of graphite. Seamless and well-textured with a lush mouthfeel from entry to mid-palate that carries across a lengthy finish.
Vineyards
The 2019 Pedestal Merlot was predominately grown at Weinbau Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope, a warm area of the Columbia Valley that produces Merlot with layers of fresh, dark fruit and beautiful aromatics. Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon gives the wine its structure. A small amount of Malbec from Sonnet Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills contributes concentration and subtle violet aromatics.
