Purchase


Michel Rolland, possibly the most influentual winemaker in the field, takes Merlot to new heights rarely seen in the US with Pedestal.
Choosing from the best grapes grown in Washinton State, he crafts a multi-dimensional, multi-layered, ageable wine reminsicent of Pomerol (where he lives) but containing characteristics unique to the Pacific Northwest. A highly collectible wine. 77% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot. Very Limited. Only 1800 cases produced.

94 Points Robert Parker "Dark and spicy, with a tarry edge to the blackberry and currant fruit, emerging on the neverending finish with richness, polish and elements of spice, pepper and an extra woosh of cherry.  It all keeps sailing effortlessy.  Best from 2011 through 2018."
