February 2, 2024 - Thirty minutes in the glass before tasting. Deep dark magenta color. Brown sugar, strawberry jelly, and bay leaf. Very dry palate, with good acidity. Full, lower intensity tannins on the longish finish.
#1WineLover and I a wonderful tasting here at Seavey, although most of the wines were not my style. All the reds lean toward Bordeaux. The property is beautiful, with a working farm. -

December 27, 2023 - This wine at ten years has gone from a dumb phase to something close to perfection. What a transformation.

March 9, 2022 - Return to Napa; 3/6/2022-3/13/2022 (Wineries and various restaurants): Again that lovely old school restrained style of wine making. Darker fruits. More heft to it than the Caravinas. There's tannin here and a bit more structure and a wine that is made to lay down for some time.

April 5, 2020 - Decanted for an hour and then we had it over 2. Frankly not much evolution during that time. This was the perfect wine for what we had, BBQ of rich in fat , 7yr ex dairy simmental with a good 60d dry age on it. Outside, coal and on a sunny 20C in covid lock down London. Any other wine would have failed, would have lost its presence and also a softer wine would have been charmless. Alas this 14.6% Napa force, purple on the rim and with good oak albeit well assimilated. Young and fresh but also round and with a silky side. There is a time and a place for a wine ( one needs to adjust of age of the wine too) but we felt this was perfect for this occasion. 90 but a very solid wine with good ageing ahead of it.
