Description

The LVE Collection by John Legend is the perfect harmony of passion, eloquence and Napa Valley tradition. LVE wines are a unique series of rich, soulful and complex notes inspired by true love, produced in collaboration with Napa Valley’s renowned Raymond Vineyards.
Legend Vineyard Exclusive was a dream long in the making. As with his music, John searched for the right collaborator, a vineyard whose pursuit of the perfect blend and standards of excellence equaled his own. With roots deep in the Napa Valley and award-winning wines known for beautiful balance, finesse and power, Raymond Vineyards was the perfect match. LVE brings together classic elegance, rich complexity and modern soul.

Tasting Notes
Appearance: 

Our LVE Rosé is a brilliant, pale pink color. It exudes fruitiness and elegance. 

Aroma: 

The nose is aromatic with delicate notes of peach blossom, raspberry and apricot.

Palate: 

Full and round on the palate, crisp light notes of fresh picked strawberry and white nectarine lead to an elegant and lengthy finish.

Winemaking
Vintage Notes: 

First, the grapes are carefully destemmed, then pressing is performed progressively so that free-run and first press juices may be selected in order to obtain a pale, delicate color. The grapes from distinct plots are vinified separately so as to preserve their typicity. Fermentation is conducted at low temperatures to encourage freshness and the wines are aged for 3 months on fine lees with occasional stirring.
