Wine of the Week #7
I’m all about value, and this wine delivers. It can be had for around $7 at Costco, and retails for $11 on the Hedges website.
According to them: Freshness, toasted oak, vanilla, cloves and a hint of licorice combine with black raspberry and cassis aromas in this sophisticated yet easy-drinking red wine. The tannins are frim yet chewy, with medium-plus body, fruit and vanilla sweedtness, lingering acidity and long, balanced finished.
According to me: If their tasting notes aren’t intimidating, I dont know what is. It’s not overwhelming, it’s not underwhelming, it doesn’t drink like two buck chuck and it can be opened up right away or it can sit for 3-5 years. It’s an interesting blend and you can definitely pick out hints of the Cabernets, Merlot, and small percentage of Syrah.
