Tasting note
The 2012 Proprietary Red Legacy, an 866-case blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot and Cabernet Franc, may turn out to be the finest Legacy ever made. It exhibits terrific intensity along with beautiful notes of plums, blackberries, blueberries, licorice, tobacco leaf and damp earth. Full-bodied, softer, with more velvety tannins than the other Cabernets, it is a plush, drinkable red to consume over the next 15-20 years. Score - 95. (Robert Parker Jr., robertparker.com, Dec. 2014)
Notes of graphite and black currant. Hints of smokey toastiness and concentrated black cherries.
