2022 Hedges Red Blend Red Mountain

Winemaker’s Notes: Reddish black bramble fruits, red currants, bright cinnamon, clove, vanilla and a touch of chili pepper, cocoa, toasted seeds, and a touch of earthy graphite. Nice structure, good length and lovely flavors of fruit, spice, and earth. This wine has a classic Hedges style with a modern touch, very enjoyable now and will age for years to come.

Blend: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 5% Syrah, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Vinous - "The 2022 Red Mountain opens with a burst of white pepper and split pine before giving way to dried strawberries and violets. Juicy and round, it splashes across the palate with tart wild berry fruits and crisp mineral tones as edgy tannins collect toward the close. It's lightly structured with medium length and hints of tart raspberry that pinch at the cheeks."
