The 2018 'Legend' Cabernet Sauvignon is an truly exceptional wine from Hertelendy. It immediately knocks your socks off with its seductive aromatics of ripe boysenberries, blueberries and dark currants which are followed by sage, exotic spices, dark chocolate, fresh florals, fresh mint and hints of earthy nuances all exploding from the glass. On the palate this is full-bodied, yet beautifully balanced by its notable acidity which provides wonderful lift and a wonderful sense of freshness. This continues to impress with its remarkable tannin structure, which results in a well-defined mouthfeel that leads into a long finish that lingers with delicious flavors of boysenberries, dark currants and exotic spices. This is a exceptional wine from Ralph Hertelendy that will only become more compelling as it evolves over time.
