2016 Merlot

2016 Merlot
“Seavey’s 2016 Merlot Estate is powerful, dense and savory, as wines from this Conn Valley estate tend to be. Lavender, sage and tobacco add layers of nuance to this super-expressive Merlot. Far from an easygoing wine, the Seavey Merlot needs time to fully come together. There is so much character and personality here.” Antonio Galloni, Vinous – 93 points
