Hedges Family Estate Red Mountain Blend

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

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

In the glass, the blend displays dark blackberry and cassis, underpinned by dark chocolate, coffee bean, and a hint of leather. Clove and roasted hazelnut add a spicy depth. On the palate, it is round and full, with a ripe tannin structure and a long, slightly spicy finish with a note of cocoa.
