Tasting notes
The 2012 Ampersand is gorgeous. Supple, rich and inviting, the 2012 possesses striking depth and textural richness. Dark cherry, plum, spice, leather and menthol notes abound in this pliant, supple second wine from Levy & McClellan. Hints of gravel, graphite and smoke add further nuance. Even with all of its intensity, the 2012 retains a good bit of freshness.

The 2012 Ampersand is dark, voluptuous and juicy. Raspberry jam, spice, new leather and rose petal flesh out effortlessly. Super-classy, polished and refined, the 2012 is a great example of the vintage. The bold, dramatic style will appeal most to readers who appreciate opulent, racy Cabernets. Quite frankly, the 2012 is a more complete and striking wine than many top labels.
