The famous wines from Bordeaux generally are blends. The tasting room at the Red Mountain winery is huge, with a big mahogany back bar, a grand piano, a view of the Yakima Valley and a private dining room. Getting it open has been a long process. For now, Hedges plans to have the tasting room open by appointment. The tasting room will be open during the upcoming Yakima Valley Barrel Tasting weekend April 25-27.
Hedges promises more information on the barbecue later.
The facility can be rented out for parties and dinners but not weddings. For information on tasting and the winery, call 588-3155. All Hedges wines are available at the Red Mountain tasting room. It's smooth and drinkable. Its aromas are of cherry wood, its flavors of blackberries, oak and vanilla, with a long rich finish.
