Certified Biodynamic and Organic Vineyard. Sustainability is at the core of our soil and our soul.
Expressive, elegant, and textured, our wines are unmistakably California but are crafted for those who appreciate an elevated experience. Reflecting two decades of work and planning, Westwood's voice is decidedly unique - as unique as our 33 acres in Annadel Gap, Sonoma.
2021 marks the sixth annual release of this show-stopping Cabernet-driven red blend created by Rockstar winemakers Philippe Melka & Maayan Koschitzsky. Dark ruby in color with obsequious fragrances of dark chocolate, black currant, cigar box, and Bing cherries. On the palate, firm age-worthy tannins are underscored by notes of rich berry flavors, with good natural acidity providing length and freshness. The power of Cabernet Sauvignon complements perfectly the expressions of the Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre in this deliciously hedonistic wine.
"The wine is opaque and dark-cherry red in appearance, with bright and enticing aromas of leather, cedar, brown sugar, and wild blackberry. Complex and layered, the palate is balanced with a beautiful dark fruit entry followed by a full mid-palate weighted with dark chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, and soft, persistent tanning. A crowd-pleasing, hedonistic delight that pairs the best from our Estate vineyard and our winemaking team's world-class Cabernet Sauvignon skills." Winemaker's Notes
2021 Westwood - Red Blend Sonoma Legend
"A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon and 32% Syrah. The Syrah comes from Westwood's 14.9ha biodynamically farmed estate Annadel Gap Vineyard, while the Cabernet comes from organic and sustainably farmed sites in Sonoma County and Napa Valley. The wine lots were fermented in stainless steel tanks and a French oak upright tank, with an average of 25% whole clusters, spending up to 2 days cold soaking and 14 days on skins and aged 20 months in 70% new French oak barrels. It's terrifically savoury with meaty, robust tannins. Notes of black cherry and cassis are infused with incense, leather, and white pepper, with fresh underbrush and deep forest fern character. Those palate-etching tannins are firm and resolve with crushed stone mineral and saline notes through the long finish."
