Seavey Vineyard
Caravina Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Popped and poured. The 2008 Caravina pours a deep garnet color with a nearly opaque core and moderate staining of the tears. Some sediment appears in the glass. The wine has good intensity. On the nose, beautifully ripe dark fruits, tobacco, leather, pie crust, and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin (though fairly well integrated) and medium+ acid. The fruit set is confirmed with cassis, figs, dates and blackberries with tobacco, leather, and baking spices. Beautifully balanced. Fully mature, these should drink well for at least another 5-7 years.

Little passed its prime but very bold plum flavors with some nutty and cigar box notes. Could diffently taste the age on this wine. Alot of fun to drink. 29th bday

Powerful. Red and dark fruit to open with firm yet integrated tannic structure and a looooooong finish. Quip for my tastes would be either less fruit or more acid but this isn’t a flabby or sweet wine by any stretch: this is near peerless California cab. Perfect for steak night.
