 Diamond Mountain District, Napa Valley.

Seaver Vineyards produces Cabernet Sauvignon in limited production of 400 – 550 cases per year (750ml bottles).

The 2014 GTS Cabernet Sauvignon is a striking example of what this vineyard can produce.  The color displays an opaque garnet core with a ruby rim.  Rich aromas of clove, fresh leather, mint, and cassis swell from the glass.  The palate consists of a balanced and harmonious fruit and mineral core.  Notes of cedar bark, plum, bramble, flint, cocoa nib and nutmeg are tightly interwoven.  Representative of the vintage, the tannin structure of this wine is very well integrated, providing a very sleek trajectory and mouth feel.  With a little time in a decanter this wine should be very enjoyable today but certainly will age gracefully for a few decades.

Thomas Rivers Brown is the winemaker.
