Legacy 2005 Red (Alexander Valley)

Made solidly in the modern style, it’s very ripe, very soft, and extraordinarily rich in chocolate-infused cassis, cherry, date and violet flavors that are liberally treated with new oak. It’s a delicious, seductive wine that should ride out the next 8 years with ease.
