Containing 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot, the spice and tar-scented 2000 Red Mountain Reserve is a big, broad, masculine wine screaming out for a charred fatty steak. Chunky, tarry, and crammed with tannin, this medium to full-bodied offering is densely packed with asphalt-studded black fruits. Its firm finish reveals a trace of alcoholic warmth. Drink it over the next 6-7 years. Tel. (800) 859-9463 www.hedgescellars.com
