Levendi means "celebrate life" and this is the kind of bottle that will help you do just that over the next several years. Solidly built on firm mountain tannins, it shows bright black cherry and blackberry fruit, with notes of dusty pepper and underbrush. Made by Alison Doran, who studied with the legendary Andre Tchelistcheff. It’s clearly built for food, and will sit beautifully alongside your best roast beef dish. That’s what I call celebrating!
