2017 Westwood Winery ‘Legend’ Proprietary Red Sonoma

Phillippe Melka for under $40, come again?! Winemakers Philippe Melka and Maayan Koschitzky have created this year’s Legend Red with a twist of French American flare. It’s an unusual blend of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon with Syrah, Mouvedre and Grenache making up the rest. It has that old world touch of acidity and balance with the new world flare of black cherry, plum, mocha and pepper. This is what ‘YUM’ tastes like.
