Winemaker John Seago
His interest in grape cultivation and wine making began during his 3 1/2 year service in Germany with the U. S. Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. He planted his first experimental vineyard north of Folsom, Louisiana in 1978 and bottled his first wine in 1979. In 1992 he withdrew entirely from the practice of law to devote his full time to the management and development of the business affairs of Pontchartrain Vineyards.

Red ------------- ---	1998 Criolla Rosso Reserva Appellation: America Cabernet Sauvignon Winemaker: John Seago Eight barrels were selected in the summer of 1999 for special further handling. The lots were blended together, fined with egg whites then returned to all new American Oak barrels for an additional 6 months in barrel. The wine was bottled in mid December, 1999 and bottle aged in our cellar for just under a year until release on November 22, 2000. We look for this wine to continue to develop in bottle over the next several years with optimum fruit and wood integration beginning to manifest 4 or 5... ...read more Question?

Red ------------- ---	2003 Criolla Rosso Appellation: Louisiana Cabernet Sauvignon Winemaker: John Seago A svelte-bodied red wine, showing feminine, sinewy strength. Alluring, clean aromas of spice and dark berry fruit precede a beautifully balanced taste experience showing both style and grace. A moderate alcohol level helps to make this wine very respectful of high quality, well prepared food. Appearance: Medium-dark red with gem-like clarity. Aroma: Fruit (dark berry) forward with classic signatures of the cabernet sauvignon grape. Taste: High fruit tones are softened by the warmth of v... ...read more 380 cases produced Question?

Red ------------- ---	NV Rouge Militaire Appellation: America Cynthiana Winemaker: John Seago A distinctive, complex red wine produced from a uniquely American varietal. Overall, the style is Burgundian, reminiscent of complex, earthy pinot noir and the medium bodied wines of eastern France or perhaps Barolos of northern Italy. Good acidity helps secure this varietal’s reputation for producing outstanding, long-lived food wines. Appearance: Dark garnet color with amber tones on the edges - again recalling an aspect of Burgundy. Aroma: Complex, with red fruit (plum, some berry) a... ...read more 277 cases produced Question?

Red ------------- ---	NV Dah Red Appellation: America Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Winemaker: John Seago Full-bodied, rich, juicy, dark red wine produced from well ripened cabernet sauvignon and syrah/shriaz grapes grown in northern California. And we’ve got some good time invested in quality American Oak. We shall use the word “ Big” here to describe this wine. Yes! But with alluring grace and drop dead gorgeous show stopping appeal. Appearance: Dah Red is very dah red, breathlessly so! Aroma: Dark, ripe berry fruit, maybe even a bit jammy. Taste: Big and juicy – there, we said it ag... ...read more 398 cases produced Question?

White ---	2006 Le Trolley Appellation: Louisiana Blanc du Bois Winemaker: John Seago Dry, crisp (good acidity), aromatic, medium bodied white wine with a distinctive mineral edge, inspired by and recalling the wonderful dry white wines of the Alsatian and Loire Valley regions of France. Appearance: Light, white gold with a touch of green; good density with “legs” and a “calming” edge to the surface. Aroma: A lovely parade of tropical and citrus fruits with floral notes just below the surface and ephemeral spice/herbal accents (spearmint) joining the procession. Look... ...read more 362 cases produced Question?

White ---	2006 Roux Saint Louis Appellation: Louisiana Blanc du Bois Winemaker: John Seago Aromatic, fruity, off-dry (slightly sweet) - R.S. of 19 gL (1.9%), with refreshingly crisp acidity, exhibiting its muscat or muscato parentage both on the nose and the palate. Appearance: Light gold, brilliant clarity. Aroma: Cascading fruit (apple, tropical and citrus), floral and invitingly perfumey. Taste: Fairly delicate on the palate (consistent with its enticing nose and light gold color), this wine shows unexpected breeding and subtleties for a white wine produced in the warm, southe... ...read more 782 cases produced Question?

White ---	2004 Louis D'Or Appellation: America Viognier Blend Blend of Viognier, Blanc du Bois, Winemaker: John Seago A rich, medium-bodied, complex style of white wine based primarily on the Viognier grape and incorporating significant barrel and malolactic fermentation components with seductive aromas. Quite elegant as an ap�^©ritif, stand alone wine, but also very food friendly. Appearance: Light, white gold. Aroma: An enticing tapestry of floral notes, tropical fruit and subtle vanilla spice. Taste: Its beautifully presented fruit is supported by a rich texture and pleasing... ...read more Question?

Rosé ------ ---	2005 Zydeco Rosato Appellation: Louisiana Rosé of Blanc du Bois Winemaker: John Seago Another creation unique to the land of the bayou in the style of a classic French ros�^©, perhaps not as austere and slightly off- dry. Appearance: Razor sharp clarity that dazzles with a salmon-pink color and hints of orange – recalling a sunset over Lake Pontchartrain. Aroma: Like the scent of perfume behind a woman’s ear, its aroma is at the same time enticing and familiar – crisp apples with a hint of strawberry fruit, spice (ginger, allspice, with a bit... ...read more 800 cases produced Question?
