Hedges Family Estate La Haute Cuvee, Red Mountain, USA 2019 Château Pontet-Canet with nuances of peach skinsSpicy 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. A blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and equal parts Petit Verdot and Merlot, it's drinking nicely today yet should have a good decade of longevity. 94 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
