Note di degustazione
Made in the old Flowers winery in Sebastopol, Leviathan is a partnership between winemaker Andy Erickson and Huneeus Vintners, sourcing grapes from throughout California. Leviathan's 2019 Red Wine is a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 12% Syrah, 5% Petite Syrah and 3% Cabernet Franc matured 16 months in 25% new French oak. The result of the overall approach is a wine with mixed red and black berries tinged with cedar and vanilla shadings. It's full-bodied, rounded and velvety, even a bit warm on the finish, and if it's slightly lacking in distinctness, it is bold, flavorful and satisfying, delivering terrific value.

The 2019 Leviathan is a fabulous wine from Andy Erickson. Powerful and flamboyant, but somehow not overdone, the 2019 is packed with inky dark red fruit. Blood orange, spice and floral accents add just enough lift to keep things balanced. I very much like the energy here.
Always a value, the 2019 California Red Wine is a juicy, up-front, undeniably delicious red with plenty of red, black, and blue fruits as well as graphite, leafy herbs, and chalky mineral nuances. Medium to full-bodied, pure, balanced, and seamless, it's a no-brainer purchase to enjoy over the coming 8-10 years at a minimum.
