Long Shadows Vintners
Pedestal Columbia Valley Merlot


Well scented bouquet of cedar, dark cherry/berry, anise. Mouth coating powdery tannin grip followed by dark cherry, licorice. I would give another 2-3 years and revisit. Could be a stunner when it levels out. Solid merlot that delivers as usual.

What a banner vintage for this wine. Lots of dark fruit, tobacco slight vanilla on the nose. So yummy.

This is clearly young but delicious after a few hours of decanting. Rich, with plenty of tannin to suggest a long life ahead.

Nice spice, fruit and tobacco. Enjoyed this with a chicken pot pie. Needed a little time to open up.

These guys are good, real good. Hearty Merlot that makes you understand all that the Washington terroir has to offer.
