Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Nov 2006

(made by Michel Rolland) Good full ruby. Aromas of cassis, dark plum, leather, licorice, tobacco and nutty oak. Sweet, fat and plush, with ripe acidity giving a juicy quality and firm shape to the layered flavors. Finishes with substantial broad tannins and lingering notes of torrefaction.

None other than Michel Rolland, of Pomerol and flying winemaker fame, is at the helm of this Long Shadows consortium winery. A firm believer in ripe tannin and gentle winemaking to promote fruit flavors and avoid harshness or edginess, Rolland must have loved the long hang-times possible in Washington State’s Columbia Valley. The 2003 Pedestal (553 cases) sports a deep nose of ripe cherries and toasty oak. Fashioned from 75% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot, this beauty broadens on the palate to reveal lush layers of thick, silky-textured red fruits. Pure, concentrated, and medium to full-bodied, it is an engaging, hedonistic wine. Drink it over the next 12-15 years. Tel. (206) 396-9628; www.longshadows.com
