This is a very well-crafted wine from an important new winery on Red Mountain. Building on a terroir-driven European style pioneered by Hedges, this wine, made by the winemaking team of Pete Hedges and Sarah Goedhart, brings a perfect blend of mixed red and blue fruits, spice, juicy acidity and the indefinable “extra” depth of Red Mountain vineyard land. Though the vines are young, the wine shows immense promise.

Tart red currant and bright acidity pull the wine into focus; the depth of Red Mountain terroir is just beginning to express itself, but the promise is there for a very special site with outstanding potential.

A beautiful nose shoots up seductive aromas of herb and berry, lightly touched with barnyard in the most inviting way. A young wine, from young vines, it expresses itself more in the aromas than in the finish. But the balance is elegant and refined, the flavors full and earthy, the style reminiscent of other European-influenced Washington Syrahs such as Gramercy.

This is the most available of all the new releases from this important new winery and vineyard on Red Mountain. It sets up with black cherry, plum and blackberry fruits, annotated with clove and coffee. Perfectly balanced and kept at a moderate 13.7% alcohol, this Cabernet-dominated Bordeaux blend is graceful and refined, built for food and cellarworthy for up to a decade.

Estate-grown, spicy and fresh, this exciting wine from a new Red Mountain producer shows outstanding potential. Carefully crafted by the winemaking team of Pete Hedges and Sarah Goedhart, it’s stylish, European, sleek and polished. The fruit is spicy and bright, the barrel accents just right, the tannins smooth and supple, and the length surprising. A fine effort.
