92 Stephen Tanzer - Vinous Media

"Medium ruby. Complex nose melds black raspberry, dark chocolate, licorice, roasted meat and sexy oak notes. Fat and sweet in the middle, with warm flavors of plum, game and smoke; suggests almost roasted ripeness, yet shows very good flavor definition. Finishes with horizontal, fine tannins and lovely persistence. A very successful 2000, from an area (Conn Valley) in which the fruit obviously ripened well." 92 points - Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar

"There are approximately 2,000 cases of the 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon, a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Petit Verdot. A powerful, strong effort for this challenging vintage, it exhibits an opaque purple color as well as a tight but promising bouquet of earth, creme de cassis, wood, forest floor, and licorice aromas. This is a big, deep, chewy atypically authoritative 2000 that will benefit from 5-6 years of cellaring, and keep for 15-20. It may be one of the longest lived Cabernets of the vintage. Kudos to Seavey for this accomplishment." 91+ points Robert Parker
