A garage wine project from husband and wife team Andy Erikson and Anie Favia (Screaming Eagle) the 2007 blend is 40% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Syrah and 14% Merlot. A bit more Cabernet Franc than last year's vintage, and made in a style that is more approachable at a younger age rather than Andy's other project which are deep and brooding, usually requiring cellaring for many years. The CoolVines staff has always thought the Leviathan has the potential to become the next "cult wine" considering the winemakers and appellation. Full bodied with plenty of juicy flavor and different layers, it needs to be decanted for a few hours before it's ready to shine.

The Napa Valley is one of the most highly praised regions in the wine world, and has been ever since the mid-70's (if not the mid-60's for Robert Mondavi and like-minded pioneers) for the quality of its climate, and its seemingly inexhaustible supply of moderate, ideal growing seasons. A region full of climatologically diverse sub-regions, it is a winemaker's paradise, as they are able to harness the potential of so many diverse terroirs within such a relatively small area.

Wonderful. Very balanced and soft. A slightly acidic finish...very subtle though. Very good wine indeed. Would recommend to anyone. Enjoy!
