The winter of 2020 was warm and dry, with cool, wet weather starting at the end of March. The warmer winter temperatures set budbreak and the growing season slightly earlier than usual. A cool, mild spring created balanced soil chemistry throughout the vineyards, and allowed canopy growth to flourish. Summer brought temperate mornings and hot days, resulting in wines with alluring vibrancy and complexity.

Tasting Notes

The 2020 Leviathan displays powerful aromas of plum, black cherry, cola, and cocoa. Savory spices, white pepper, marjoram, and cardamon derived from our rocky Northern California hillsides expand across the palate. The wine boasts bright and persistent acidity with intense, fine-grained tannins. It is approachable now and built to cellar for over 7 years.
