Shalestone Vineyards
Red Legend Red Blend
Finger Lakes, New York, USA
Wine Review: When visiting this all red wine focused winery on Lake Seneca, owner Kate Thomas told me this was their Wednesday wine. After trying it, I would say this very easy to drink wine could be your everyday wine. This wine opens with a mild light berry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is very well balanced, smooth, approachable, and had juicy cherry flavors. This wine finishes slightly dry and lingers for a while. This wine is a good food wine that would pair well with many foods. This is a great value wine that you would enjoy throughout the fall. Enjoy – Ken
Winemaker Notes: In the toolbox it is the crescent wrench, in the kitchen it is the salt and pepper, and in a relationship it is the love. Red Legend gets it done. A healthy dose of Cabernet Franc and Merlot and whatever else is in the Shalestone cupboard.

Nose is musty but it's balanced and approachable.

From a "Red Only" FLX winery! Big fruit, almost like a Zinfandel. Good everyday red.

Great everyday "house red" Reminds me a lot of inexpensive California Zinfandels. Pull the cork, pour in glass, consume. No pretension just real good juice
