Hedges CMS Red 2022

Cracked pepper and tar aromas mingling with black fruit. It's tarry and peppery with a full body and medium tannins. A little rustic. 48% merlot, 44% cabernet sauvignon and 8% syrah. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

The 2022 Red Blend CMS lifts up from the glass with a peppery blend of dried flowers and blackberries. It's soft-textured with pretty inner floral tones and a balanced core of ripe wild berry fruits elevated by hints of sour citrus. The 2022 leaves a framework of sweet tannins and a primary concentration as a bump of residual acidity keeps the mouth watering for more. This represents tremendous value and a wonderful introduction to the house style. Well done.
