Note di degustazione
(14.1% alcohol; includes 10% Petit Verdot and 3% Merlot): Medium ruby. Musky dark fruits, menthol, mocha, coffee and mint on the rather cool nose. A supple, spicy wine that combines green notes of pepper and dried herbs--even a slightly weedy quality--with flavors of chocolate and caramel. Not especially deep but spreads out horizontally to saturate the palate. Finishes with granular, slightly drying tannins and noteworthy length. There are some evolved notes here but this wine offers plenty of flavor interest and personality.

There are approximately 2,000 cases of the 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon, a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Petit Verdot. A powerful, strong effort for this challenging vintage, it exhibits an opaque purple color as well as a tight but promising bouquet of earth, creme de cassis, wood, forest floor, and licorice aromas. This is a big, deep, chewy atypically authoritative 2000 that will benefit from 5-6 years of cellaring, and keep for 15-20. It may be one of the longest lived Cabernets of the vintage. Kudos to Seavey for this accomplishment. Tel. (707) 963-8339; Fax (707) 963-0232
