2009 Long Shadows "Pedestal" Columbia Valley Merlot

*Cellar Selection* 0 Michel Rolland‰۪s Long Shadows wine is 83% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. Bay leaf and pretty herb scents introduce a wine that remains tightly wound. Black cherry and cassis flavors are set in a frame of smoky espresso. The tannins are polished, and the finish is deliciously long.
