A great new Napa Red from Screaming Eagle's Winemaker Andy Erickson and vineyard manager Anne Favia, Napa's newest superstar winemaking team. A fantastic value for such pedigree and quality under $50. Limited.
Andy and Annie use some of the best fruit in northern California in making this truly spectacular wine under their own label Leviathan. This impressive Bordeaux blend is 40% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Syrah, 14% Merlot. Expressive aromas of coffee bean, smoke, dusty rose, gravel and fresh baked black cherry pie jump from the glass. On the palate, an entry of soft tannin quickly blossoms to intense flavors of dark chocolate, raspberries, plum and cherries. It finishes long with full, ripe dark fruit nuances. Voluptuously drinkable now, will improve with additional cellaring. Hurry!
