A blueprint in a bottle. Inspiration on demand.
Dark, dusty, alluring, and perfumed…the 2014 Level 22 is generous from the start. Familiar aromas of dried apricots, cranberries and sarsaparilla entice you. On the palate, the wine is dense, silky smooth, and skintight. Its dusty tannins are fine-grained and resolved, trailing off into a seamlessly integrated finish, like the sunset ending of a classic western movie.
