2005 Sierra Legend Estate Grown

Winemaker's Notes:

I have always been intrigued by creating blends of wines that are inherently different. The excitement comes when you discover a blend made from markedly different wines that are compatible while originating from different parts of the world.

Sierra Legend is a proprietary name which I trade marked and which I intend to use for blends of wines made from grapes that come from different wine regions in the world. My 2005 Sierra Legend is the first wine that bears this name and consists of Syrah, a Rhone Variety, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, both Bordeaux varieties, and Primitivo originating in Croatia but lately cultivated mainly in Italy.

This luscious wine opens with dark berry aromas with hints of black pepper. On the pallet the dark berry flavor quickly crescendos to layers of black cherry, plum and cassis and finishes with a lingering full finish of vanilla, coffee and spice.

All the grapes used for this wine are Estate grown.
