Legend Vineyard Exclusive Napa Red Blend 2022
The 2022 LVE Napa Valley Red Blend opens with rich aromas of black currant and violets, with hints of tea and pepper. The harmonious blend of structured tannins from the Petite Sirah with the suppleness of Merlot creates a complex wine with length and persistence on the palate, accompanied by notes of earth and cocoa nibs. Crafted by Raymond Vineyards in collaboration with John Legend.
