Product Description
2004 Levy McClellan - Wine Advocate # 162 - Dec 2005: This is the debut release from the extraordinarily talented winemakers, Bob and Martha Levy. As one might expect, the wine has the same types of aromas and flavors as the extraordinary Sloan and Harlan Estate Cabernet-based wines. Dense purple-colored to the rim, the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon offers up notes of blueberry liqueur intermixed with creme de cassis, licorice, incense, Asian soy sauce, and coffee bean. The complex aromatics are followed by spectacularly concentrated, full-bodied flavors that are neither over the top nor heavy. There is a seamless integration of wood, alcohol, acidity, and tannin, and an exquisite finish of over 45+ seconds. I suspect getting on the mailing list is the only chance readers will have to purchase this gem.
