My note on 12/30/21 is right on but I think this bottle was in amazing balance, maybe a touch more than my previous note. Served with rib eye. Great pairing.

unlike the bottle a year ago, this bottle was phenomenal. Notes are consistent with the bottle a almost 2 years ago. Decanted 2 hours and it needed it as it improved over the next 2. Medium brick in color but not at all tasting like the appearance. Youthful tart black cherry, red currant, earth and a touch of tobacco. Medium on the palate with acidity that freshens for the next sip. Medium tart finish of black cherry.

Haven't tried many Red Mountain wines or Hedges in a while, as they are not as much my style anymore. However, this did not disappoint. Not oaky, which is nice. Dark red and black fruits. Thick texture, but not goopy. It tastes like a very nice Cab. A little cooler then Napa, if that makes any sense.

This bottle was a little off from the others. A little greener and no black fruit at all. Tart cherries on the finish with graphite. Will try the last half of the bottle tomorrow ans see if any improvement and update note if better.

Enjoyable cab; however, it needs about 3 to 4 hours of air before it comes into its own.
