An amazing wine from winemaker Andy Erickson (Screaming Eagle)

2008 Leviathan Red Blend

Andy Erickson has worked with some of the biggest names in the wine industry. Currently he is the wine maker for Screaming Eagle, Ovid, Dalla Valle and Dancing Hares. He has worked with just about every major cult winery in the Napa Valley his resume also includes Harlan, Staglin Valley Vineyards, Spottswoode, Stags Leap Wine Cellars and Newton. Leviathan is made by Favia winery which is a project that Andy Erickson and Annie Favia started in 2003. Both bring great amount of experience to the wines they produce.  

40% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Syrah, 14% Merlot. Leviathan is Andy Erickson’s pet project where he can express his creativity and talents through blending different lots of finished wines he has made from various sources. I'm sure he has great sources to obtain top quality fruit, after all he is one of the top winemakers in Napa Valley.
