2018 Westwood “Legend” Proprietary Red Blend, Sonoma County
A crowd-pleasing, hedonistic delight that pairs the best from our Estate vineyard and our winemaking team’s world-class Cabernet Sauvignon skills. Delicious, plump and black fruit forward, the Legend Proprietary blend marries the best blocks of Syrah from our Annadel Gap Vineyard with Cabernet Sauvignon from an organic vineyard in the Knights Valley. Mouth-filling in texture, the wine has heft and weight while being fantastically balanced in the finish.

Wanted to get some wines for my parents to help re stock their cellar.

Emailed the shop and Steve then worked with me to pick some great wines. Nice value and exceptional service.

He delivered 24 bottles the next day and walked my parents through the wines.

He then took it upon himself to reorganize their wine cellar.

Truly amazing service!
