Hedges Family Estate La Haute Cuvee, Red Mountain, USA 2019 Oasis en Altura Full-bodied with a pleasantly freshSpicy red fruits, cedarwood, tobacco, cigar, and chocolate notes all emerge from the 2019 La Haute Cuve, a medium to full bodied, ripe, nicely balanced red with fine tannins, good mid palate depth, and outstanding length.
