About the Winery

Hedges Family Estate is a family-owned, biodynamic winery on Red Mountain in Washington State. Founders Tom and Anne-Marie Hedges helped establish the modern Washington wine industry and were instrumental in creating the Red Mountain American Viticultural Area.

The goal is to capture the true character of their hillside terroir.

Region & Grape

This is a Cabernet Sauvignon from Red Mountain, Washington’s smallest and warmest AVA. The site’s heat, sun, and rocky soils produce Cabernet of concentration and firm structure. Hedges builds depth with a Bordeaux-led approach while keeping Cabernet Sauvignon at the heart of the wine.

Tasting Notes

Look for aromas of black cherry, ripe dark fruit, and dried tobacco, with barrel spice and a hint of cocoa. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, with firm tannins and a sense of place that Red Mountain is known for. The finish is long and savory. It is a dry, structured red.
