This 2004 Legacy is the fifteenth release of our Bordeaux-style varietal blend. With this vintage, we selected four lots of wine from our estate vineyard in the Eastern Mountains and hills enclosing the Southern end of the Alexander Valley. Elevation holds the key to this wine’s combination of boldness and elegance. They complement the powerful fruit by using only small, thin-staved French oak barrels to age this wine. The resulting wine is supple, with flavors of cedar, black currant and dark chocolate. Look also for hints of smoky toastiness and concentrated black cherries. Reviews: "One of the finest Legacys made in a number of years, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot (all from Jess Jackson’s Legacy Vineyard planted high up on Alexander Mountain) exhibits a deep ruby/purple color along with a big, sweet nose of toast, black currant liqueur, flowers, and licorice. Full-bodied, offering a hint of crushed rocks, powerful tannins, a rich mid-section, and a multilayered texture as well as finish, this is a stunning red to enjoy over the next 15 or more years.
