2006 Seavey Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
See wine details
100% ESTATE GROWN, PRODUCED AND BOTTLED - NAPA VALLEY AVA
Comprised of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Petite Verdot, this 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon marks the 12th consecutive Seavey vintage under the guiding hands of world-renowned winemaker, Philippe Melka. The grapes were harvested mid-August to mid-October 2006 with low yields from our South facing hill-side vineyard. The rich fruit benefited from a hot summer and a long growing season. In the winery the grapes were sorted, de-stemmed and gently lifted into small tanks for fermentation; the resulting wine was aged in 50% new French oak before being bottled in May, 2008. Production was limited to under 900 cases of 750 ml bottles.
