Westwood 2014 Legend Annadel Gap Vineyard Estate Grown Red (Sonoma Valley)

Country: US / Legend Annadel Gap Vineyard Estate Grown
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Westwood / Sonoma Valley

This is an unusually perfumed commingling of varieties not always seen together, including 45% Tannat, 44% Syrah and 11% Counoise. But it works. Black cherry, black tea and orange peel come together seamlessly on the nose and palate, with a high-toned acidity balancing the 60% new French oak and healthy proportion of whole-cluster fermentation.
