Wine Description:
Hedges Family Estate Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine produced by Hedges Family Estate, a family-owned winery in Washington State. The wine is made from grapes grown in the Red Mountain appellation, known for its unique terroir and ideal growing conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard is biodynamically farmed and features steep slopes, mineral-rich soils, and a warm climate, resulting in grapes with intense flavors and aromas alongside equal structure. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, fermentation in small batches, and aging in oak barrels, both French and American oak is used. The resulting wine is full-bodied, rich, and complex, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a long, smooth finish. It is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts who appreciate the art of winemaking and the unique characteristics of the Red Mountain appellation. Pros:
- High degree of varietal typicity with cassis and graphite notes
Cons:
- The American oak influence in this wine may not suit all drinkers
Wine Expert Note:
This Hedges Family Estate Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is a complex and deeply satisfying wine. On the nose, dark fruits like blackberry and black currant intertwine with aromas of cedar, and graphite. On the palate, the wine has a concentrated core of dark fruits and anise, complemented by soft yet firm tannins and a long, lingering finish. Enjoy this age-worthy red with grilled steak, roast duck, or a warm winter stew.Taste Flavor
