Levy & McClellan
Napa Valley Red Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
Our bartender and cellar guard last Saturday, Tommy Kofler. This Levy & McClellan was a big surprise for me. I had an ‘05 a couple years ago and I did not care for it. This bottle was far far more complex, balanced and feminine than I expected. Bold fruit yes, but a velvet water slide finish that killed. I’m also noticing a trend with ‘09 Napa. It’s opening up and strutting around the henhouse a little. Until recently I gelt they were shut down and angular. Thank you @David L
