2007 Seavey Merlot 750ml
Availability TBD Not for Sale

Seavey Vineyard’s fourteenth estate-produced Merlot, the 2007 was made from 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown at several different elevations of the vineyard. The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness of sugar and tannins and with concentrated fruit flavors. Winemaking style followed classic Bordeaux methods. Following fermentation, the wine was aged in French oak barrels (50% new oak) for 18 months before bottling in May 2009.
2006 Seavey Merlot 750ml
750ml Price: $50.00

Seavey harvested the 2006 Merlot in just two days, beginning on October 12 with our steep hillside block and finishing on October 16 with the lower blocks. The fruit had low potential alcohol and medium-high acidity, which led to a very bright and structured wine, with an abundance of red fruit character. We counterbalanced the Merlot’s austerity with the addition of some rich Cabernet Sauvignon from our two best blocks. The resulting wine is concentrated, smooth and balanced.
2005 Seavey Merlot 750ml
750ml Price: $50.00

The lush nose of ripe blackberries with hints of cedar, clove and dark chocolate gives way to an exceedingly long and rich finish.  The wine's opulence is a signature of the classic 2005 vintage.  To our core Merlot blocks we added Cabernet Sauvignon (20%) and Petit Verdot (5%) from the very top of our vineyard, a portion we call “Masochist Hill” because of its extreme slope.
2004 Seavey Merlot
750ml Price: $55.00

The 2004 Merlot has an enticing nose of mulberry, coffee and mocha. It exhibits a rich palate of plum, black cherry and cedar with soft tannins. While delicious to drink now, it should age well for many years. Winemaking style followed classic Bordeaux methods. Following fermentation, the wine was aged in French oak barrels (40% new oak) for 18 months before bottling in May 2006.
2003 Seavey Merlot
750ml Price: $65.00

The 2003 Merlot has an enticing nose of mulberry, coffee and mocha. It exhibits a rich palate of plum, black cherry and cedar with soft tannins. While delicious to drink now, it should age well for many years. Winemaking style followed classic Bordeaux methods. Following fermentation, the wine was aged in French oak barrels (40% new oak) for 18 months before bottling in May 2005.
2002 Seavey Merlot
750ml Price: $75.00

"The 2002 Merlot is a 550-case offering exhibiting aromas of melted fudge, coffee, berries, and dried herbs. Made in a rich, medium to full-bodied style with loads of character and flesh, it will provide immense pleasure over the next decade." - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
2001 Seavey Merlot
750ml Price: $65.00

The 2001 Merlot offers fresh fruit and floral aromas of cherries, violets, truffles and spice.  Integrated and structured with a medium body, it will continue to age well for years. Winemaking style followed classic Bordeaux methods. Following fermentation, the wine was aged in French oak barrels (45% new oak) for 18 months before bottling on June 2003.
2000 Seavey Merlot
750ml Price: $50.00

Seavey Vineyard’s seventh estate-produced Merlot, the 2000, was made from 100% Merlot grapes grown primarily on a gradually sloping east-facing block near the top of the vineyard.  The grapes were harvested in the third week of September at optimal ripeness of sugar and tannins and with concentrated fruit flavors.
1999 Seavey Merlot
750ml Price: $70.00

"The 1999 Merlot (230 cases of 100% Merlot) exhibits a full-bodied, chocolate and berry fruit-scented nose, low acidity, and fleshy, succulent flavors, with aromas of dried herbs, roasted espresso, earth, black cherries. This rich, medium-bodied, and moderately tannic wine should be consumed over the next decade." - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
1998 Seavey Merlot
750ml Price: Contact Winery

"Seavey has turned out something special in a vintage that was not easy for Cabernet/Merlot producers. Their dense garnet/plum/purple-colored 1998 Merlot offers expressive, fragrant aromatics consisting of chocolate souffle, smoke, coffee, mocha, and berry fruit. Full-bodied, lush, silky-textured, and made in a Pomerol-like, ripe style. Rating: 90." - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
1997 Seavey Merlot
750ml Price: $100.00

"There are 300 cases of the 1997 Merlot, an intense, full-bodied, gorgeously pure, 100% Merlot that saw 40% new French oak. It reveals the tell-tale espresso bean, chocolatey, sweet, jammy berry fruit, an unctuous, thick texture, full body, and excellent purity and length. It is a gorgeous Merlot to drink now and up to 2015. (release date 4/00)." - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
1996 Seavey Merlot
750ml Price: $80.00

"I thought the 1996 Merlot was even more impressive than the 1997. The color is a saturated ruby purple, and the wine smoky, with plenty of thick, juicy black cherries, earth, and chocolate on display in abundant quantities. Full-bodied and rich, with an opulent texture, this immensely attractive Merlot can be drunk now or cellared for 12-15 years." - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
1995 Seavey Merlot
750ml Price: Contact Winery

"Seavey's Merlots are softer and more plush than the muscular, concentrated Cabernets. The 1995 Merlot, which is more closed than the 1994, with less concentration, offers a dark ruby/purple color, a sweet nose of black cherries, earth, and a whiff of smoke and chocolate. This medium-bodied, moderately tannic wine requires 1-2 years of bottle age." - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
1994 Seavey Merlot
750ml Price: $100.00

"The 1994 Merlot (350 cases) is aged in 35%-45% new oak casks. The opaque purple color is followed by a wine with an impressively rich nose of black currants and spice. Still young, this ripe, rich, sweet, medium to full-bodied 100% Merlot should last longer than I previously suggested. Drink now through 2011." - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
