Spiced plum, sandalwood, dried herbs, tobacco, and leather notes all emerge from the 2019 Red Mountain, a round, supple, nicely balanced, complex Red Mountain release. I like its balance, it has tons of character, and should keep for a solid decade. The blend is 43% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Syrah, 4% Cabernet Franc, 7% Malbec, and the rest a mix of other varieties. Best After 2022

Tasting Notes: Black fruits, dark chocolate, vanilla, cumin, cedar dust, butterscotch and dried herbs. Lush chocolate
custard with cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger and licorice. Full, rich, lush with gorgeous fruit and spice notes. Long
silky finish with flavors of blackberry, black pepper and touch of vanilla. This wine has a classic Hedges style with a
modern touch, very enjoyable now and will age for years to come.

Cellaring: This wine, like other Red Mountain wines, is best now with food, but will age well. 10+ years

Production: Grapes are from Red Mountain AVA vineyards within a 2 mile radius of the winery: Hedges, Bel Villa,
Les Gosses, Magdalena and Jolet. The wine was destemmed and partially crushed into stainless steel fermenters
where it was pumped over twice daily until desired tannin extraction was achieved. It was then pressed to barrels
where it underwent malo-lactic fermentation, then racked off lees and 100% barrel aged for 18 months in 33% new
oak, American (63%) and French oak (37%).
