Nose
The 2006 Cabernet boasts a luscious nose of blueberry pie and tropical fruit aromas.
Palate
Full-bodied, opulent and chewy, flavors of blackberries, graphite and red rose petals convey the concentrated and exotic depth of this wine. The firm yet silky tannins are well-balanced with acidity, providing plenty of structure to support the generous fruit for 25+ years of cellaring.
Growing Conditions
Seavey's 17th estate-produced Cabernet, the 2006, was made from grapes that came from vines planted in several different locations of the south-facing hillside vineyard. The rich fruit benefited from a hot summer with several heat spikes and an extended growing season with a long harvest that began in mid-August and concluded in mid-October.

Winemaking
