Seavey Cabernet Sauvignon

Seavey Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $64.00 per bottle

Description: The long anticipated 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon from Seavey Vineyard is a blend of 95% Cabernet and 5% Petit Verdot. The 2001 is powerful, large scaled and rich with intense black currant, blackberries and licorice flavors, and a long life ahead of it. The grapes were harvested during the first three weeks of October from vines planted on several different locations of the generally South facing Seavey hillside vineyard. Winemaking style followed classic Bordeaux methods. Harvested at 25 degrees brix, the juice remained in contact with the skins for 28 days. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged in 48% new French oak barrels.
