Description
Capturing decades of winemaking experience and vineyard knowledge, renowned winemaker Andy Erickson began Leviathan in 2004 with a single goal: to create a red wine each vintage free from the restraints of appellations and crafted from notable vineyards throughout California.
L E V I A T H A N 2 0 1 8 – T A S T I N G N O T E S
An intense mix of fresh boysenberry, black cherry and plum jump from
the glass with cocoa powder, allspice and nutmeg. Its earthy elements of
our rocky northern California hillsides include Bay Laurel, sage, cedar, dry
red earth which speak to its origins. Supple and balanced tannins of this
rich wine lead to a long savory finish with hints of graphite and star anise.
It is approachable now and built to cellar.
