The 1,100 cases of 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blockbuster offering. I tasted pure Cabernet, but there will undoubtedly be some Merlot and Petit Verdot added to the final blend. It appears to be the finest Seavey Cabernet since 1997. A saturated purple color is accompanied by a sweet nose of creosote, blackberries, cassis liqueur, new oak, compost, and earth. It is rich, dense, full-bodied, and enormous in the mouth. It will be a long-lived, Napa classic. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2030.

A potential super-star in the making is the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon. It gets my vote as the finest wine made at this estate since the 1997, and it should have the longevity of their monumental 1991. Sadly, only 1,500 cases were produced from a blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. It should be called a vin de garde (a wine for aging) as it is a tightly-knit, powerful, enormously-endowed offering with huge tannin, monster extract, and rich, intense black currant, tar, blackberries, loamy soil, and licorice flavors. Closed, broodingly rich, and large-scaled, this 2001 possesses nearly unlimited upside potential, but patience will be a virtue. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2028.

Dense and chewy, with ripe, rich tannins holding sway over the earthy currant, sage and herbal notes. It finsihes with creamy, mocha-scented oak, which gives it an added dimension. Best from 2006 through 2012. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 1,500 cases made. (JL)
