2012 Levy & McClellan Red

The flagship 2012 Red Wine is superb. Dark cherry, licorice, menthol, tobacco and torrefaction give the 2012 its plush texture and soft contours. Above all else, the 2012 delivers serious flavor intensity without excess heaviness. Drink this sumptuous, prototypical modern Napa Valley red over the next decade or so.

Levy & McClellan's 2012 Red Wine is dark, sumptuous and totally compelling from the very first taste. Layered and resonant, the 2012 build beautifully in the glass, showing superb depth to match its radiant personality. The flavors are bold, dark and intense to the core. Raspberry jam, pomegranate, mocha, smoke, mint and leather are all pushed forward in a wine that captures the contemporary style of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon at its very best.

A much more voluptuous expression of Napa Valley emerges from the 2012 Red Wine. Dark, rich and resonant to the core, the 2012 is all about texture. Raspberry jam, spices, menthol and tobacco build to the huge, inviting finish in a wine that should offer a wide window of drinking once it is bottled and released.
