2023 Leviathan Cabernet Sauvignon California

For more than 30 years, one of Napa Valley's most acclaimed winemakers—best known for his work at Screaming Eagle and for crafting multiple 100-point wines—has built a career on precision, sourcing brilliance, and an uncompromising pursuit of quality.

His signature project began with a radical idea: craft one extraordinary Cabernet-driven wine each year, free from the limits of any single appellation, and powered by the best vineyard sites across Northern California.

This philosophy opened the door to something rare in Napa: a wine defined by freedom, not boundaries. Each vintage, he selects standout lots from volcanic foothills, mountain slopes, and cool-climate pockets—coaxing intensity, depth, and character from every site. The result is a bold, expressive California Cabernet offering the kind of power, richness, and complexity normally reserved for far more expensive bottles.

The 2023 growing season was one of Northern California's longest and coolest in memory. A wet winter replenished the soils, a mild summer let flavors build slowly on the vine, and a late, unhurried harvest delivered exceptional freshness, balance, and aromatic lift.

The result? A vintage of remarkable poise—deep color, vibrant acidity, and finely structured tannins built on pure California mountain fruit.
