The lady of the house asked to drink a good bottle tonight so everything was on the line. 😂
Medium-intensity aromas of perfume, salt, smoke, cream, baking spice, blackberry, and cassis. The flavours were consistent with the aroma, with hints of milk chocolate, green peppercorn, and tomato leaf. Complex wine with a long finish and paired excellently with butter chicken roti. The old lady loved it and said it was like a Pinotage, but better.
We were very satisfied with this Red Mountain Blend. $30 for us, and tasty enough to drive plans to return to Hedges for more. This blend is 55% Cab, 26% Merlot, 9% Syrah, 6% Cab Franc, 3% Malbec, and 1% Petit Verdot. This is a bigger meritage/blend in the mouth than the price might indicate. Nice body that wasn’t too tannic given it’s youth.

Only in color with stark tannins. Very slow to open with restrained fruit. Not a lot of depth or complexity but perhaps attributable to its youth

Good fruit forward but will get better with a year or three of rest to let the fruit settle and the wine to be more balanced. Good steak wine though
