More about this wine from Columbia Valley, Washington

In 1976, Tom Hedges married Annie-Marie Liégeois in Champagne, France. Fast forward to 1989 and the young couple purchased fifty acres on Red Mountain in the Yakima Valley and planted Bordeaux varietals AKA Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay. It turns out Washington State is the perfect place for a couple married in France to make their mark on the American wine scene.


You can kind of think of this Washington state blend of Cab, Syrah, and Merlot as America's version of a Bordeaux Rouge. This is the OG of Washington state blends and it continues to delight with each new vintage. Pop this bottle and the aromas of raspberry, blackberry, and cherry liquor immediately make their way to your nose. The sippin' brings in all that delightfully tart red fruit and adds a touch of vanilla, dark cocoa, and a subtle sprinkle of spice.

How to drink it

Engaging in a friendly game of Scrabble during a casual weeknight at home. In order to spice things up, the lowest scoring player takes a healthy sip from their chosen libation after each round.
