Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
The aromatics are rich with blueberry, dark cherry, violets, toasted oak and spice. Your palate is greeted with intense ripe blueberry, racy black currant, cocoa, baking spices, graphite, fresh violets and cigar box. In your mouth it delivers warm graham cracker, red current, melted licorice, tobacco, cedar allspice, boysenberry and violets all entertain your senses and carry through on the finish. The broad and full spectrum of fruit, firm supportive tannins, expansive juicy mid-palate, savory baking spice and noteworthy minerality conspire to provide you with a wine that may be enjoyed now, or cellared for many years.

Wine Enthusiast
Rich acidity and dense tannins lock this Cabernet in a veil of toughness—despite its flashy, elaborate black currant, dark chocolate and cedar flavors. The dryness and elegant balance strongly suggest its ageability.

In the 1870s – when Conn Valley Road was little more than a wagon trail – the land which we now farm was planted with grapes to make a “Claret of high repute.” This wine was judged by the St. Helena Star to be “as fine as one might find anywhere.” Commonly known as the Franco-Swiss Farming Company, this was the pioneering vineyard and winemaking operation of Conn Valley. After roughly thirty years of producing great wines, the company dissolved due to the impact of a phylloxera infestation and Prohibition. For more than a half century, cattle roamed the land and grain was farmed but no more grapes were cultivated until Bill and Mary Seavey acquired the land in 1979.
Bill and Mary set out to revive the original vineyard, planting the south-facing hillsides of Conn Valley near Lake Hennessey. By 1990, we had remodeled an 1881 stone dairy barn into a small winery and began producing small quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Small blocks of Merlot and Petit Verdot were also added along with a second winery building which includes an underground wine cave.
