Beautiful cassis, chocolate, leafy herbs, and earth emerge from the 2017 Pedestal, a ripe, sexy, opulent wine that does everything right. A blend put together by Michel Rolland and aged 22 months in 86% new French oak, it's beautiful today yet will cruise in cool cellars for 15 years or more.
94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2017 Pedestal Merlot has a dense nose with a heavyweight expression and an inky character in the glass. Offering blackberry jus, spiced plum preserves and dark cherry skin, the scents are lifted and compounded by rich, elegant oak spices, cigar box and juicy tobacco. Full-bodied, the wine is generously ripe and juicy with tones of graphite and a balanced structure, ending with a long, complex finish. The expression continues to evolve in the mouth after the wine has left the palate, showing elevated alcohol with dark blackberry tones, bitter dark chocolate and pencil shavings.

I like the dark fruit with the tar and black-olive undertones here. It's full-bodied with chewy tannins that are polished and soft. Lots of fruit and tension. Nice, dusty texture, too.
