 Tickets: free, wine club members | $20, non-members Led by a passion for authenticity and a deep connection to the land they call home, the Hedges Family epitomizes the modern wine estate. A blend of rich cultural upbringings and a shared love for creating beautiful wine converge at the heart of bucolic Red Mountain, fostering a true homegrown approach to farming and viticulture. Hedges Family Estate unites past and present, evolving tradition for generations to come. Hedges Family Estate C.M.S Sauvignon Blanc Columbia Valley, 2020 
The unique combination of grapes in this wine always how a pleasant aromatic character. The 2019 has aromas of light citrus, peach and apple preserves with freshly cut pear and cinnamon. The citrus is creamy and reminiscent of lemon pound cake. The creamy, zesty character flows on the palate with more hints of apple, peach, and a touch of passionfruit. Hedges Family Estate C.M.S Chardonnay Columbia Valley, 2019 Light golden color. Aromas of mixed apples, lemon shortbread, almond pastry, peach blossoms, a little spice and a touch of salinity. Tart flavors of apple and citrus, balancing well with creamy mid-palate flavors of nectarine, slight minerality and  floral notes. Hedges Family Estate C.M.S Red Blend Columbia Valley, 2019 
Black cherry, raspberry, warm mulling spices with a bit of cocoa, vanilla and anise. The palate is very soft up front, has a nice creamy center and while it does pack a slight punch, it lingers into a finessed finish. Flavors of chocolate, sarsaparilla, raspberry candy, clove and cinnamon, this wine is delicious, well rounded and sure to be a crowd pleaser. Hedges Family Estate C.M.S. Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley, 2019 Dark, rich berries, cocoa, vanilla, dried sage, and cinnamon. Full-bodied with favors of toasty blackberry, toffee, chocolate, leather and a touch of cassis. Descendants Liegeois Dupont Syrah Les Gosses Vineyard Red Mountain, 2016 
A beautiful Red Mountain Syrah. Classic characters of red tart fruits, blueberry pancakes, black pepper, fresh ground cumin seed, and hint of vanilla, dark cocoa powder and chili powder. The entry is tart with a lot of fruit and spice flavors. There is a slight aggression on the mid-palate which leads to a smooth and creamy finish. This Syrah has a rugged elegance to it. Smelling and tasting this wine reminds you of the Red Mountain landscape. Slightly savage, yet beautiful. Hedges Family Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain, 2019
 Black fruits, dark chocolate, vanilla, cumin, cedar dust, butterscotch and dried herbs. Lush chocolate custard with cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger and licorice. Full, rich, lush with gorgeous fruit and spice notes. Long silky finish with flavors of blackberry, black pepper and touch of vanilla. This wine has a classic Hedges style with a modern touch, very enjoyable now and will age for years to come. Reservations are required.
