No longer the hearty QPR it once was, I struggle to even want to pay 50 for these 2nd-hand. MSRP has swelled to a ridiculous 70 bones... 91-92 for this iteration.

If only all merlot tried for this style: good depth, fruit/acid balance, some tannins. I’ve yet to have a Pedestal (in a dozen vintages) that didn’t impress. This one is drinking really well, right now. Lots of life left, too.

Terrific, lots of structure and tannins... decant or cellar for up to a decade.

Plumbs and chocolate. Dark rich fruit nicely balanced. Lots of life left.

Plum and blackberry with coffee bean notes. Well integrated and structured, if a little overproduced. Tasty for certain.
