LONG SHADOWS Merlot ‘Pedestal’ 2012

The 2012 Long Shadows 'Pedestal' is a magnicifiant Merlot made by famed Bordeaux wine consultant Michel Rolland, who has teamed up with Washington State wine visionary Allen Shoup, to make one of the best Merlots you will come across. The wine is composed of 81% Merlot with the rest Cab, Cab Franc and Petite Verdot. The nose begins with aromas reminiscent of black cherry, dill and black olive. This is a rich and viscous wine with flavors of mocha, black cherry, black olive. The impressive bottling has a wonderful mouthfeel throughout. This is delicious wine for a special occasion. Drinking incredibly now but this one also has a long future. (Best 2015-2030) - July, 2015 (OB)
