Seavey Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 2005

Highlights:

One prominent review earned this wine 94 points: "Fresh and dense, with lots of blackberry and coffee/espresso notes mixed with black currants, smoky barbecue and earth. Intense, full-bodied and ripe, with low acidity and sweet tannins, this wine has seemingly hit full maturity, where it should last for at least another decade."

Another review came in at 93+ points: "Lovely lift to the aromas of crushed blueberry, boysenberry, licorice, menthol and mint. Densely packed and thick, conveying a glyceral texture and a slightly saline quality to its primary dark berry fruit flavors. This wine has terrific energy, spine and length and should ultimately merit an even higher rating. And its high alcohol is well-buffered. The drinking window is from 2022 to 2039."
