Description
The Legacy Red Blend assembles Bordeaux varietals from superior vineyard blocks within Alexander Valley. Cabernet Sauvignon predominates, with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot adding greater aromatic complexity and depth. This wine exhibits aromas of cassis, violet, fennel and mocha alongside a faint hint of bay leaf—a nod to the wine’s mountain provenance. Black fruit, graphite and forest botanicals cascade through a powerful textural presence held aloft by chewy tannins. Extraordinarily layered and complex, this wine will reward patience and will age easily for two decades.

This rich red wine shows aromas of cassis, cherry liqueur, fennel and cocoa flood from the glass. On the palate, fragrant dark berries, currents with layered tannins and graceful minerality.
