Leveroni 2002 Merlot (Sonoma Valley)
- $18
What a nice wine this is. It’s dry and balanced, and although there’s a complex structure of tannins, it’s drinkable now. The flavors veer between blackberries, plums, coffee, leather and dusty spices.

Leveroni 2001 Merlot (Sonoma Valley)
- $18
This wine impresses for its smooth mouthfeel. It feels as soft as velvet, and yet the tannins are richly textured and even dense. Polished flavors of plums, blackberries and dark chocolate linger through a long finish.

Leveroni 2003 Merlot (Sonoma Valley)
- $18
Pleasing, but basically straightforward. It’s all on the surface, but the cherries and oak, vanilla and woodspice come together in a satisfying swirl of dusty tannins.

Leveroni 2003 Chardonnay (Carneros)
- $16
A nice example of a Carneros Chard, balanced in tree fruit flavors, with crisp acidity and a hint of pear liqueur on the finish. It’s clean and refreshing.

Leveroni 2002 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Valley)
- $15
This flavorful wine is eccentrically heavy for a Pinot Noir. It’s dark and full-bodied, with blackberry, root beer and cola flavors, and has some sweet, dense tannins. Yet it retains Pinot’s silky texture, and is dry and easily drinkable.

Leveroni 2004 Chardonnay (Carneros)
- $16
A little earthy and tart, this is a minerally, high-acid Chard with tight flavors of citrus fruits and barely ripened white peach. It has a clean mouthfeel and a swift finish.

Leveroni 2002 Syrah (Sonoma Valley)
- $18
Drinks rather cooked, with a baked pie crust aroma and strong, harsh berry flavors wrapped in thick tannins. Drink now.

Leveroni 2003 Syrah (Sonoma Valley)
- $18
The texture is smooth and fine, the tannins just right, but the fruitiness is too upfront, in your face. There’s just unrestrained gobs of cherries and jammy berries. Whatever happened to balance?
