The 1997 Seavey Merlot truly honors the traditions in Pomerol and those of the Right Bank.  Well over a decade after its release, the tannin in this wine still maintains its integrity and fruit profile, with mature dark fruit notes throughout.  We are proud to offer you a Merlot from 1997 that has not simply stood up to the test of time, but has embraced it and evolved into a mature wine that provides extraordinary character. It has a saturated purple color, is full bodied and rich with lots of jammy fruit, black cherries, earth and chocolate, and opulent texture and excellent purity and length.
