"The brilliant 2007 Caravina (again 100% Cabernet Sauvignon) exhibits terrific creme de cassis notes as well as lots of charcoal, chocolate, and loamy soil undertones. The wine has great fruit, as one might expect from this vintage, and no hard edges. Readers looking for value in Napa Valley reds need look no further than Seavey's 2007 Caravina. Last year I wrote that it was the finest second wine they had yet made, and now that its in bottle, I can reiterate - it is a sensational effort. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged 19 months in French oak casks, this 525-case cuvee is a sleeper of the vintage. This silky smooth, inky purple-colored wine offers up notes of roasted herbs, cedar, chocolate, espresso beans, and black fruits. Sweet, round, opulent, textured, and fleshy, this beauty can be enjoyed now or cellared for 15 more years." 94 points. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate.
