Seavey Vineyard

Caravina Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Popped and poured from a magnum; no formal notes. This is probably the third or fourth time I’ve had the 2014 Caravina and while it’s still quite primary, this is the best showing yet. Bright red and black fruits with tobacco, a whiff of bell pepper and some baking spices. Firm structure with grippy tannins. The acid is elevated but welcome, particularly since it helped to slice through the fat of the prime rib. Finish is long and satisfying. Drink now and through 2034. — 3 years ago

Napa Valley Red Blend 2019

This is a highly extracted style of Cabernet with loads of cassis, black cherry, blackberry, a touch of mint and a heavy overlay of chocolate, oaky vanilla, smoke and baking spice. It’s so big I find it somewhat ungainly and lacking enough acidity to offset the weighty fruit. There is surprisingly little tertiary development so far though it will be welcome when it arrives. Medium plus finish. — a year ago

Niederhäuser Klamm Kabinett Riesling 2020

Very nice but at this stage feels slightly reserved. Hint of sweetness which is expected and welcome. Nice intensity and depth. Great acid. — 4 years ago

California Rosé Blend 2020

8.9

Appropriate wine to welcome in the Spring. Watermelon rind, lemon/grapefruit oils, underlying herbaceous notes, with a moderate acid backbone. The 11.5% is a plus (but the wine really shines when paired with food) — 5 years ago
