Hedges Family Estate Red Mountain Blend

Powerful, structured, and with an aroma profile that makes no compromises: The Red Mountain Blend from Hedges Family Estate shows why Red Mountain counts among the most exciting red wine appellations in the USA.

The Hedges family is among the pioneers on Red Mountain in the state of Washington – one of the warmest and driest AVAs of the Columbia Valley. Volcanic soils, extreme daily temperature fluctuations, and low yields ensure grapes with unusual concentration and structure.

In the glass, the blend shows dark blackberry and cassis, underlaid by dark chocolate, coffee bean, and a hint of leather. Plus clove and roasted hazelnut as a spicy deep layer. On the palate, round and full, with ripe tannin structure and a long-lasting, slightly spicy finish with a cocoa note.

• Food: Braised beef, leg of lamb with herbs, mature cheddar or dark chocolate for the finish
• Drinking temperature: 17–18 °C
