giving way to crushed blackberries
Full marmalade flavor accompanied by spicy notes with a slightly syrupy feel
it offers hints of ripe red fruits and some floral references with hints of almond
which keeps this rich version trim and focused and drives the long
grapefruit and a hint of hazelnut before closing on a tangy saline note
Hedges Family Estate La Haute Cuvee, Red Mountain, USA 2019 Weissburgunder giving way to crushed blackberriesSpicy red fruits, cedarwood, tobacco, cigar, and chocolate notes all emerge from the 2019 La Haute Cuve, a medium to full bodied, ripe, nicely balanced red with fine tannins, good mid palate depth, and outstanding length. A blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and equal parts Petit Verdot and Merlot, it's drinking nicely today yet should have a good decade of longevity. 94 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
