The "Legacy" bottling is a lot selection from those that typically go into Beau Vigne's signature wines like Romeo, Juliet, and Guest Cottage. Fruit is sourced from reputable sites in Yountville and Rutherford, with additions of Syrah and Petite Sirah adding depth. Aged in approximately 30% new French oak, the wine exhibits great energy, tension, and vibrancy for the challenging 2022 vintage. It offers plump dark fruit character and warm baking spices layered over salted dark chocolate notes, leading to an extended finish. This is an extremely easy-drinking and pleasure-packed wine.
