Hedges Family Estate
Red Mountain Red Blend
Red Mountain, Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Nose of black currants, cooked plums, licorice, oak, Indian spices, light earth, herbs, tobacco leaf and chocolates.
Full bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with plums, currants, cooked cherries, oak, chocolates, light licorice, spices, tobacco leaf, light earth, herbs and black pepper.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Red Mountain in Washington State. Elegant and nicely balanced. Feels like a Left Bank Bordeaux. Spicy and entertaining. Really enjoyed the nose.
This 8 year old Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is drinking beautifully now, with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Delicious by itself as a sipping wine, and will pair nicely with food too.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 22 months in all new oak barrels, 80% American and 20% French. A tiny production of only 1,400 bottles.
14% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$75.

WOW - had this awhile back and wasn’t really impressed, but now it is a stunner! Big bold burly monster beast of a wine brimming w/red & black fruit dusted w/spice & herbs, loamy & dank and just massive concentration. Huge gripping tannins - much more resolved than previous bottle and finish was smoothed out and lengthy. Go find some!

Sawdust. With sawdust. Black and red fruit. Good food wine for sure. Not by itself necessarily.

Jun 17th, 2020Nothing wrong w/this big bold burly red - fairly intense extraction weight & heft but very young restrained even after over an hour in decanter. Hi-alcohol nose mingled w/red & black spiced fruit, def some wood & vanillin flavors - this has a bunch of different grapes which are not resolved at this time.
