Seavey Vineyard's eighth estate produced Cabernet, the 1997, was made from 98% Cabernet and 2% Petit Verdot grapes that came from vines planted on several different locations of the South-facing hillside vineyard. The 1997 growing season began with an early, mild Spring and little rain, which allowed for good bloom and fruit set. Higher than average temperatures during veraison and harvest produced an early harvest in the second and third weeks of September, with even, full ripening and concentrated flavors.

- Saturated ruby to the rim. Complex, subtle aromas of black cherry, cassis, minerals, clove, mace, licorice, graphite, dark chocolate and violet. Very concentrated and very dense but not at all heavy. A spiciness at the core adds brightness to the impressively intense black cherry, leather and earth flavors. Big, dusty tannins are also ripe and sweet (the wine was fined with egg whites). Very long and suave on the aftertaste. At the anticipated price of about $60, this will be practically a bargain by California standards.
