The Winery

Seavey

“Conn Valley is still somewhat of a no man’s land of Napa Valley, hidden away to the east of the renowned resort of Meadowood, but there’s no question that the Seaveys, backed up by brilliant French winemaker Phillipe Melka, are turning out fabulously rich, long-lived Cabernet Sauvignons that could withstand 20-30 years of cellaring.”-Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

Nestled in the heart of St. Helena, Seavey Vineyard is one of the most traditional wineries focusing on historic winemaking techniques rather than modern trends. William and Mary Seavey purchased the historic estate of Seavey Vineyard in 1979 which was originally founded by the Franco-Swiss Farming Company in 1881. They began making wines from vines that were planted almost a century before knowing that the land was groomed to grow world-class Cabernet Sauvignon, along with high-quality Petit Verdot and Chardonnay.

Today, under the management of their children, the estate runs with the same devoted values even maintaining an inventory of every vintage of their Cabernet Sauvignon in their Seavey Vineyard Wine Library. With earthy and rustic aromatics, the wines from Seavey are effortless, timeless, and wonderful collectibles for all.

Tasting Notes

WA95
The densely black/purple-colored 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon has the telltale burning ember, blackberry, and cassis notes, with hints of underbrush, espresso roast, chocolate, and subtle oak. A large, full-bodied wine of admirable intensity, terrific length, and no hard edges, this is a beauty that has put on weight since I tasted it in barrel and immediately after bottling last year. It should evolve effortlessly for 35+ years.
WS90
Rich, focused and complex, with appealing black cherry, red currant and plummy Cabernet flavors that are pure and full-bodied, tapering off a bit on the finish. This was the better of two bottles.
