Winemaker's Notes:
I have always been driven to create blends from varietals that come from different wine regions of the world and even from different countries. Sierra Legend is one of these blends. First made in 2005, Sierra Legend is a blend of Syrah, a Rhone variety, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, both Bordeaux varieties, and Primitivo originating in Croatia but lately cultivated mainly in Italy. Creating new blends, especially from wines that are inherently different is by far the most fulfilling and exciting part of my job as a winemaker. I trademarked Sierra Legend and I have been making this wine since 2005.
Inky purple in color, this luscious wine has intense aromas of dark berries and chocolate with hints of black pepper. This is a remarkably well balanced wine, which makes it hard to identify its components. While the fruit flavors play a dominating role, you can identify some savory, smoky and earthy notes that continue all the way to the long finish.
