Seavey Vineyard's tenth estate produced Cabernet, the 1999, is a blend of Cabernet (90%) and Petit Verdot (10%) grapes that came from vines planted on several different locations of the South-facing hillside vineyard, and was harvested during the first three weeks in October. The 1999 has an opaque ruby/purple color, a highly extracted bouquet of ripe black berry fruits, bitter chocolate, coffee and plum aromas; dense, layered and full bodied with exceptional concentration, the wine's silky yet powerful tannins should allow it to age well for 20 years.
