I loved the 2018 Red Blend Pollard Vineyard from Robin Pollard, and this might be the finest wine I’ve tasted from this vineyard. A blend of 40% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, it has a pretty, perfumed bouquet of red and blue fruits, leafy tobacco, cedarwood, and spring flowers. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, balanced, elegant red with polished, fine-grained tannins, wonderful purity, and a great finish. All about finesse and elegance, it will evolve for 10–15 years if well stored. (Jeb Dunnuck)

Long Shadows has crafted a beautiful new Right Bank style 2018 Merlot Pedestal, which is nearly all Merlot (82%) with smaller portions of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Once on the nose this shows an intoxicating bouquet of black currant jelly, espresso bean and shades of black licorice candy. The mouthfeel captured here is exquisite as the Merlot seamlessly glides across the mid-palate delivering a decadent core of dark fruits, black licorice, black peppercorn and espresso ground tones. Finishing very long, this is already a beautifully evolved wine that will improve with an hour in the decanter. (Owen Bargreen)
Dark-fruited and with a dense and inky core, the 2018 Pedestal Merlot offers aromas of resinous purple flowers with hints of oak and blackberry jus. Full-bodied and firm on the palate, the deep and complex expression will take another year to fill out its shoes. The wine ahs firm gripping tannins across the mid-palate along with a tight mineral tension, then lingers with persistent notions of spiced plum compote and graphite. Give it another year in the bottle, and then drink it over the next 10 to 12 years. (Anthony Mueller)

The nose on this wine is like a mixed berry pie filled with blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. There’s also traces of loam, wet lawn grass and spearmint. The palate is packed with cherry-vanilla cola and sweet oak flavors, plus a blueberry-yogurt note showing up on the finish. Tannins are resolved and the acidity is tame. (Michael Alberty)

A delightful wine, the 2020 Chardonnay Indian Wells Vineyard is oaky and pomaceous fruit driven with classic elements of pastry cream, sweet citrus and yellow apple with components of pear skin and almond butter. Medium to full-bodied, the wine offers a bright and juicy frame with a succulent freshness and oak essence before displaying a delightful and round texture that is food-friendly. The wine ends with a focused finish that lingers persistently and will drink well over the next 4 to 5 years. 75,000 cases were produced after the wine aged sur lie for10 months in 27% new oak.
