His philosophies included producing a wine that would share the structure of a hillside cabernet while preserving the terroir&#8217;s character and providing a pleasurable experience through the finish with soft tannins. Martha is also a talented winemaker, crafting the wines at Sloan Estate, Checkerboard Vineyards, and Vineyard 7 &amp; 8. She and Bob created Ampersand to tell the vintage story; Their 2016 Proprietary Red is predominately Cabernet Sauvignon-based with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, giving a clear portrait of excellence.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><strong>LEVY &amp; MCCLELLAN<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>AMPERSAND RED BLEND<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div><strong>NAPA VALLEY 2016<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><strong>Your Price:&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #800000;\">$350<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-xsmall fasc-type-glossy fasc-rounded-medium fasc-style-bold\" style=\"background-color: #880e4f; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/CPWJoinUsToday\" rel=\"noopener\">Click Here to Join Our (Free) Insider\u2019s Club &amp; Unlock Special Offers<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-glossy fasc-rounded-medium fasc-style-bold\" style=\"background-color: #334f9e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2016LevyAndMcclellanRed\" rel=\"noopener\">Click to Order<\/a><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5523\" src=\"https:\/\/cherrypickedwines.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Anne-Sewell-Image-e1649691199234.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\"><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><em>&#8220;The Levy &amp; McClellan 2016 Ampersand has alluring aromas of lavender, violet, black currant, black plum, black olive, cedar, and dark chocolate.
