Verkostungsnotizen
Vinous 93
(14.5% alcohol; includes 6% Petit Verdot): Deep ruby. Very closed, grapey scents of primary dark fruits and licorice, with some liqueur-like high tones emerging with air. Densely packed, chewy wine with a berry liqueur sweetness and plenty of early personality. This very large-scaled, spicy, structured wine finishes very long and vibrant, with substantial tannins that are a bit tough in the early going.
Anticipated maturity: 2022-2037
Robert Parker 94
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate, a blend of 94.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5.5% Petit Verdot, exhibits sweet plum, blackcurrant, blackberry, burning ember and loamy soil notes, and a full-bodied, opulent, deep, chewy mouthfeel. Aged 20 months in 60% new French oak, it is a big, lusty, full-bodied, muscular Cabernet Sauvignon that is more approachable than most Seavey wines are at this age. It needs 3-5 years of cellaring and should keep for 25+ years.
Anticipated maturity: 2017-2042
