Hedges 2011 CMS Columbia Valley Washington Red Wine. This wine is a blend of a traditional bordeaux blend with a twist, that twist being syrah. Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah come together to display a nose of deep red berry and a touch of oak and baking spice. The palate shows rounded tannins with soft red fruit and a touch of oak. D&M Tasting Notes CMS Red, Washington State's original blended red wine, has been produced and bottled by the estate since 1987. Consistently recognized as one of the best values in Washington State, CMS Red combines elegance and historic blending practices with top quality vineyard sources in the Columbia Valley. A style consistent with classic northern latitude wine growing, the CMS Red is known for a more Columbia Valley AVA regionally driven style, giving way to purity and structure over modernity. -
