The Legacy Red Wine assembles Bordeaux varietals from superior blocks in the Jimtown vineyard and Alexander Mountain Estate. Cabernet Sauvignon predominates, with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot adding greater aromatic complexity and depth. An uncompromising attention to detail defines this wine, from pruning and leafing decisionsto the final blend. Hand-picked at dawn and sorted by hand, the grapes are vinified in small upright fermenters made ofFrench oak. After blending, the wine is aged for 26 months in 62% new French oak barrels before bottling.
The 2015 Red Wine exhibits aromas of cassis, violet, fennel and mocha flood from the glass 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, the 2015 Legacy will reward patience and will age easily for two decades.
