Boy did this wine get better than my last bottle! Beautifully melded primary, secondary and tertiary notes. When a Seavey is spot on, it represents a sophistication for a Cabernet Sauvignon that is not easy to find in Napa. I am looking forward to this wine hitting the 20 year mark! 12/27/2025

This '12 Estate Grand Vin from Seavey was shared at our wine tasting at the Seavey Estate, which we were luckily joined by Jim Duane, the winemaker. The Seavey property has such a great OG feel to it, highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.
Tasting notes (served blind) of red and black cherry, bramble fruits, smoked pipe tobacco/cigar box, wet vineyard floor, truffle, graphite and scorched earth. This was still fresh and vibrant for being 13 years old - testament to Jim's style of winemaking and what Seavey can do.
This is just getting into that more mature/tertiary window where I really start to love Napa Valley Cabernet. I would recommend opening a bottle soon if you have a few and want to check in, you will not be disappointed. This will be in a great place for another decade. I scored this wine 96+ points. 11/18/2025

Just outstanding and has really come in to its own. I would think its now at its plateau of prime drinking. 11/1/2025

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 (RP) 10/2014
