The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate flows across the palate with layers of ripe, perfumed, dark red fruit. The wine continues to blossom beautifully in the glass, revealing endless layers of powerful, intense fruit that wrap around the finish. The 2009 needs time to drop its baby fat, but it is impressive, even today. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. Philippe Melka has turned out four beautiful wines at Seavey. The entry-level Caravina is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, while the Cabernet Sauvignon Estate typically includes about 5% Petit Verdot. Both wines spend 18 months in French oak barrels, 50% new.Tel.
