Hedges Family Estate
Red Mountain DLD Cuvée Marcel Dupont Les Gosses Vineyard Syrah
Red Mountain, Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
This is my last bottle of this remarkable single vineyard Syrah, the first bottle consumed about 6 years ago.
The nose opens seamlessly with ripe plum, blueberry compote, and cassis before evolving into savory waves of smoked meat, dark cocoa, dried violet, and aged soy. The palate is full and silky, with a refined sweetness and integrated spice driving a long, savory finish. Still powerful but now balanced and restrained. In peak form.

I just could not get my hands off this Red Mountain single vineyard Syrah.
The delicious ripe black fruit core is still pretty much intact while it continues to complexity and nuances. Rich and delicate at the same time on the palate. The bottle is hitting its strike right now.

This is very close to 4.5 after couple of hours decant. It had the power and finesse to enjoy now, and the balance and structure to age further. My previous note applies.
I will try to open my remaining 2 bottles once every couple of years, if I can resist.

After the initial rush of ripe plum, black currant, blueberry, and menthol, the nose slowly reveal its layered and complex side with cured meat (or maybe bacon fat), dark chocolate, black tea, violet, and hint of soy source. On the palate it was dense and velvety, carrying the lightly syrupy sweetness to a long intense spicy finish.
This rich and powerful single vineyard 100% Syrah has a long life ahead.
