When we’re on vacation together, we always bring a deck of cards! Actually we bring two decks to play our family favorite: Canasta! Any fans out there? Competition sometimes gets the better of us, so when tensions run high, a red blend helps return the balance.
Hedges Family Estate CMS ($13) is a harmonious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. It is so juicy and lighter than expected, easy drinking, and without residual sweetness. No complaints here!
Tom and Anne-Marie Hedges founded Hedges Family Estate in the late 80s, purchased 50 acres on Red Mountain in the Yakima Valley and planted 40 acres of Bordeaux varietals. (We’ll give out bragging rights if you can name a few in the comments!)
Their daughter Sarah Hedges Goedhart returned home after a few years away to make wine on her family’s estate and has been head winemaker since her uncle and mentor retired in 2015. We look forward to trying more of her wines!
Did you know that in addition to #Womensmonth, March is also #Washingtonwinemonth? At least it is in the world of wine holidays, which we are ALL FOR!
