Leave open two hours before consuming. This wine is unusual. Although it is described as a Bordeaux blend, it tastes nothing like Bordeaux or even Malbec (its predominant grape). Instead, it’s a light red wine with an acidic finish. This wine reminds me of Alicante Bouschet or some of the Southern Italian reds. Interesting but not excellent. — 18 days ago

Fantastic at the price point. Rich, velvety, but definitely a Red Mountain Washington Cab. — 4 years ago

Yes soft and very approachable nose dark cherries and great acidity fruit still totally accessible. Nice acidity l. Minor notes of oxygen and prunes. This baby might not have hit its apex yet! — 7 years ago

This was really good and likely drinking at its apex. Dark, candied cherries, leather, and caramel dominate the nose and palate. Tannins and alcohol present but well integrated. Medium plus depth. — a month ago

Beautifully extracted, luscious and velvety. Dark cherry fruit dusted in dry Napa earth. The real deal. At its apex. — 5 years ago

Green and black pepper, stewed dark fruit, leather, and black tea. The 2007 is smooth and well blended, but may be on the backside of its aging apex, with a bit more oxidation and a bit less tart fruit and acid than I’ve tasted in the past. Still a great wine. — 6 years ago

Amber color, lots of stones, bees wax; fantastic! But this is the apex, acids are lower and I will finish the rest of my -15s this year. — 3 years ago

Like it was bottled last week at age 22 this will far outlast me. Initially compact and focussed, it ultimately spread out with layers of sweet pipe tobacco, roasted espresso bean and a range of red berry. Just gorgeous and far from its apex. — 3 years ago

Day 2 of Napa in the books!

Our visit to Seavey was one of the best in terms of enjoying back vintage wines alongside current releases. Caravina is their “second” wine, but it shows very well. This ‘10 is drinking at its apex. Truffle, blackberry, leather, pepper and overripe red fruits. — 7 years ago
