Napa Valley, California, USA
The 2004 Seavey Merlot is showing marvelously now at the fifteen year mark. Aged in 40% new French oak, the wine is a silky blend of 75% Merlot with the remainder Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) and Petit Verdot (10%). The earthy tones aromatically are really nice, as this shows dusty terroir that has settled with the black fruits and black tea aromas that all come together in the glass. The palate is soft, rich and downright elegant. Black fruits collide with shades of creme de cassis and mocha, with the lovely damp terroir terroir that round out this beautiful palate. This is absolutely singing at the fifteen year mark but has another ten years left. Drink 2019-2029- 92

1 hour decant(decent amount of sediment). An incredible dark purplish garnet color with little signs of aging. On the nose: big notes of plum, wet forest floor, spicy floral notes, earth, and minerals. Taste: smooth, rich medium plus body wine with dark plum, smoke, earth, currants, and a cherry-chocolate-tobacco soft tannin long finish. YUM...Cheers!
