2011 Hedges Family Estates Red Mountain Red Blend

The 2011 Hedges Red Mountain Red Blend, this winery's flagship wine, looks like a Bordeaux style blend on the surface, but another look reveals a small amount of Syrah added to the blend of Cab, Merlot, Cab Franc and Malbec. All of the fruit comes from Washington's Red Mountain AVA, representing all of the vineyards Hedges farms, and is aged for 10 months in a combination of French, American and Hungarian oak, half new half neutral. Plenty of structure and acidity to support the elegant black and red fruit and well-integrated spice.
