Seavey Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Caravina 2012
Aromas of black cherry, currant and roasted herbs are apparent right out of the gate. This is a silky smooth, richly textured wine that offers layers of red and black fruit, allspice, graphite and toasted espresso. This is the perfect complement to the Estate Cabernet as it can be drunk anytime over the next decade.
Seavey Winery
In 1979, William and Mary Seavey purchased the historic estate originally founded by the Franco-Swiss Farming Company in 1881. One century after the first vines were planted, Seavey Vineyard was established. Once again, the land would be groomed to grow world-class wines, not to satisfy modern trends, but to honor age-old winemaking traditions. The Seavey Vineyard Wine Library maintains wine from each vintage produced on this land and provides close friends of the winery a chance to taste back through twenty-five years of Cabernet Sauvignon.
