Production from the estate’s 40 planted acres is approximately 3,000 cases annually. This small-scale production allows us to maintain consistently high standards in both the vineyard and the winery. We’ve never bought a grape and we farm our land with our in-house crew. Our steep, rocky hillsides produce small, thick-skinned berries with outstanding tannins which must be handled very gently. As a result, our winemaking approach is gentle and patient. Stewarded by Jim Duane, our winemaker, and also Philippe Melka, our consulting winemaker, our goal is to create masterful, soulful wines that exude a sense of place and age gracefully.
Our Story
Meet the Winemaker
Jim Duane
WINEMAKER
Jim has been Seavey’s winemaker since 2011 after stints at Robert Mondavi Winery and Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars as well as a Master’s Degree in Viticulture and Enology from UC Davis. Now with a dozen years of legendary Seavey wines to his credit, Jim has proven himself an elite winemaker whose artistry and skill continue to evolve and reach new heights with every new vintage. About Seavey, Jim says: “I delight in the rugged terraces and steep vineyards here, which provide constant opportunities to refine our cultivation methods, and in our small team’s relentless pursuit of crafting unmistakable, world-class wines.”
