Dec 30th, 2022This is a Cabernet the artificial intelligence which is pretty obvious he has a low IQ says it’s a Merlot This wine has been made by Felipe Melka since the early 90s and should be called status

Tannic, dry. Lamb, bacon, hibiscus 🌺. A wine made to age the acidity is bold.

The 2004 Seavey Merlot is showing marvelously now at the fifteen year mark. Aged in 40% new French oak, the wine is a silky blend of 75% Merlot with the remainder Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) and Petit Verdot (10%). The earthy tones aromatically are really nice, as this shows dusty terroir that has settled with the black fruits and black tea aromas that all come together in the glass. The palate is soft, rich and downright elegant. Black fruits collide with shades of creme de cassis and mocha, with the lovely damp terroir terroir that round out this beautiful palate. This is absolutely singing at the fifteen year mark but has another ten years left. Drink 2019-2029- 92

Day 2 of Napa in the books!
Drinking so well! We were blinded on this and guessed early-mid 2000s Caravina. This merlot has some serious structure and is cruising along nicely. Red and black fruits are fading to more old fig, dates, roasted plum, herbal spice, and older tobacco with good acidity to keep this holding for a while.

Day 2 of Napa in the books!
Tar, streak of black cherry down the mid palate, charcoal, cherries jubilee, and floral. Not a pop and pour style, and definitely a nice take on right bank style Bordeaux wines.

Love the style that comes out of Seavey... it’s old school, but with the right mix of modern. Their 2007 Merlot is mid-weight, but packed with flavor and complexity. Superb.
