VINEYARDS 2017 ESTATE RED MOUNTAIN SYRAH RED MOUNTAIN ORIGINALS In 1975 our family planted the ﬁrst vineyard on Red Mountain, an area now known for producing some of the world’s most powerful, opulent wines of distinction. For three generations we’ve worked together on our farm to grow exciting, vineyard-driven wines that capture the essence of our Red Mountain estate. VINEYARD PROFILE Legendary Washington vineyard guru Dick Boushey famously proclaimed that “Syrah loves a view,” and that’s exactly what our Ranch at the End of the Road vineyard oers. It’s located higher on the hill than many of our other plantings, resulting in superb air/water drainage, dramatic diurnal temperature swings, and ample heat accumulation, perfect for world-class Syrah. WINE PROFILE Syrah from Red Mountain is prized for producing wines of profound concentration, color, and character. Elevage in a gentle french oak program ensures gorgeous fruit and ample minerality are preserved in bottle. Expect deep color and a lengthy ﬁnish; this is a remarkable wine. A non-traditional Zinfandel add in the blend adds layering, texture, and aromatics.

The primary vintages were sourced wines from the Columbia Valley AVA. Hedges Cellars, as it was called, created the first commerical wine blend for sale from WA State. After three years, Tom (born in Richland, WA) and Anne-Marie Hedges (born in Champagne, France), moved from a sourced fruit model to an Estate Grown model, by purchasing land in WA States’ most coveted terroir: The Red Mountain AVA. Soon after, Hedges Cellars became Hedges Family Estate, when their son Christophe joined in 2001. Shortly after, their daughter Sarah joined in 2006 and became head winemaker in 2015.

For three generations we’ve worked together on our farm to grow exciting, vineyard-driven wines that capture the essence of Red Mountain. VINEYARD PROFILE We have just 2.55 acres of Malbec planted at our estate Heart of the Hill vineyard on Red Mountain. The varietal thrives here, producing wines of uncommon depth and complexity. The fruit is highly sought after by Washington winemakers for its strong varietal typicity and opaque coloration. WINE PROFILE Malbec has recently been “discovered” by the new world wine-drinking public as a superb stand-alone cultivar for fruit-forward, dark, approachable wines with lots of depth. This certainly holds true on Red Mountain, where plantings are relatively young but already exhibiting a lot of character. A small Cabernet Sauvignon compo- nent—also from Heart of the Hill—adds layering and tannin.

For three generations we’ve worked side by side, hand in hand to craft exciting, vineyard-driven wines that capture the essence of the Columbia Valley. VINEYARD PROFILE Although designated Columbia Valley on the label, our 2018 Chardonnay is 100% estate-grown Red Mountain fruit from our Kiona Estate and Ranch at the End of the Road vineyards. The old-vine Chardonnay component comes from the the oldest planting on Red Mountain, a block that produces elegant wines worthy of attention. WINE PROFILE Chardonnay has been a part of our tradition dating back to 1975. The grape thrives in Washington, where the wines are nuanced and layered with a high drinkability. This 2018 version showcases vibrant fresh fruit ﬂavors complemented by up-front miner- ality and a subtle crème brûlée aromas. Barrel-fermented Roussanne adds layering, depth, and creaminess.

7 Reserve Merlot
��7 Reserve Merlot The 2017 Reserve Merlot was crafted from five small vineyard parcels inside the Columbia Valley AVA, three vineyards on Red Mountain and two along the Royal Slope. Farmed using sustain- able practices, the vines were limited to one-two clusters per shoot to create maximum concentration in each cluster. They were hand-harvested in the early mornings between September 8th - October 4th, 2017. Upon arriving in the winery, each cluster was hand-sorted, berry-sorted, and fermented in a combination of concrete (73%) and stainless steel (27%) tanks. Using only the free-run wine, it was then moved to custom French oak barrels (94% new) for 23 months of cellaring with over 40 individual evaluations by our winemaking team. After this time, only 17 barrels were selected and bottled (unfined and unfiltered), producing 412 cases. “Deep ruby/purple-colored, with medium to full-bodied notes of spring flowers, raspberries, candied orange, and spice, it’s elegant, balanced, and has a light, juicy, already delicious style. It should evolve graceful- ly for 10-12 years or more.” -92 points, Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com �� 1 Columbia Valley AVA Dionysus, Stillwater Creek Hedges Family Estate, Red Mountain Vineyard, 2 Red Mountain AVA Angela’s Vineyard Labeled AVA Columbia Valley CANADA Bellingham Case Production 412 Varietal Breakdown 94% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon Port Angeles LAKE CHELAN I Woodinville COLUMBIA VALLEY Seattle Spokane D Fermentation 73% concrete, 27% stainless steel A Wenatchee H OLYMPICS ANCIENT LAKES O Aging 23 months in 94% new French oak Olympia CASCADES 1 NACHES HEIGHTS WAHLUKE SLOPE Pullman Yakima LEWIS-CLARK Alcohol 14.7% SNIPES MOUNTAIN VALLEY RATTLESNAKE HILLS RED MOUNTAIN Prosser Tri-Cities YAKIMA VALLEY WALLA WALLA VALLEY HORSE 2 Walla Walla Drinkability Now - 2031 HEAVEN HILLS COLUMBIA GORGE OREGON PACIFIC OCEAN PACIFIC Vancouver Retail $80 Portland N W E S �� , ��, �� .��.

2017 Estate Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
VINEYARDS 2017 ESTATE RED MOUNTAIN CABERNET SAUVIGNON RED MOUNTAIN ORIGINALS In 1975 our family planted the ﬁrst vineyard on Red Mountain, an area now known for producing some of the world’s most powerful, opulent wines of distinction. For three generations we’ve worked together on our farm to grow exciting, vineyard-driven wines that capture the essence of our Red Mountain estate. VINEYARD PROFILE Cabernet is king on Red Mountain. From the humble beginnings of our pioneering 1975 planting to today, we’ve grown Cabernet Sauvignon on Red Mountain longer than anyone. This 2017 iteration features fruit from our venerable Heart of the Hill estate vineyard, a Red Mountain powerhouse known for density and purity of fruit. WINE PROFILE This authoritative wine shows why Red Mountain has a reputation as one of the world’s preeminent regions for Cabernet Sauvignon. Fine grain tannin, great fruit, and dark color abound. Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon tends to have a very nicely integrated pyrazine aspect to complement the red and blue fruit proﬁle.

Iron Gategategate ARTIST SERIES 2016
IronIronIron GateGateGate ARTIST SERIES 2016 Blend: 76% Cabernet Sauvignon | 19% Merlot | 5% Cabernet franc Alcohol: 14.5% abv TA: 6.37g/L pH: 3.75 Case Production: 249 cases Date Bottled: 5/2/18 Grape Source(s): Cabernet Sauvignon: Shaw Vineyard and Scooteney Flats Vineyard, Red Mountain AVA, WA Merlot: Scooteney Flats Vineyard, Red Mountain AVA, WA Cabernet franc: Six Prong Vineyard, Horse Heaven Hills AVA, WA Aging: 19 months in 100% new French Winemaker Notes: Our inspiration for Iron Gate was a famous 100-point Bordeaux wine that Bettina gave to us almost a decade ago. While visiting Bordeaux, CC and I made a joke of getting our photo in front of the imposing gates of this great French Chateaux knowing they are not open to the public and their wine is sold mostly to collectors. We wanted to make our own premium Bordeaux blend that we could welcome our guests to enjoy at an accessible price. To create this wine, we sourced from some of the best growers and regions in Washington State, including sites in Red Mountain and Horse Heaven Hills. In 2016, both areas experienced a long, spectacular growing season allowing the grapes to develop ripe flavors and expressive aromatics. Aged in 100% new French oak to frame its age-worthy tannins, the resulting wine is dark, aromatic, and richly textured. A special thank you to artist Donald Rainville for this painting which became the wine's label. Tasting Notes: With flavors of black cherry, kola nut, and cinnamon, this contemplative blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet franc is a harmonic fusion between old world inspiration and new world terroir.

Wine Club Tasting Notes 6.20
June 16th, 2020 Thank you for supporting our West Coast Wine Club Summer Release! This is our 2nd ever Club Release, and I’m excited to keep moving the program forward and introducing you to some exciting new wines, but also some old favorites! We are in the midst of some of the darker days in American history, which has made it difcult to sample and source wines. But I’m proud to say that this 2nd release has exceeded the very high bar set by the 1st release! Let’s pop some corks! Cheers, CW SOCIAL CLUB • Division-Villages, ‘Les Petits Fers,' 2019 Gamay Noir, Oregon. Absolutely beautiful Carbonic Gamay that has become an annual favorite of mine! Blend from five certified organic vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills and Southern Oregon. Aromas of white pepper, fresh herbs and dusty strawberry, with a chalky note. The palate is mineral focused with cranberry, thyme and a peppery note distinct to Gamay. I just love the interplay of the intense fruitiness balanced by the overt stemmy spices, making for such a flavorful experience! The wine has an extremely elegant mouthfeel, less funk than last vintage, and is incredibly refreshing overall. Pro tip… try drinking it slightly chilled! 550 cases produced. • Kelley Fox, ‘Mirabai,’ 2018 Pinot Noir, Dundee Hills, OR. Kelley Fox has a great story, and an interesting read on her website, if you find the time. She graduated Magna Cum Laude with dual degrees in Biochemistry and Biophysics from Oregon State, but then caught the wine bug and learned farming & winemaking from the late-great David Lett of Eyrie Vineyards.
