Color of ruby and cranberry juice. Quite clear. Nose of spice, dried strawberry, tobacco leaves, cherry jam, strength of alcohol, and ripe grapes. Taste basically follows the nose with addition of marginal tannins and hint of black pepper. Also some more sweetness note. Aftertaste of some more ripe grapes and a tiny bit zesty. Flavors keep coming. Above average. — 4 years ago
Il sauvignon nella Loira è diverso, naso intenso e fine, elegante, note varietali delicate ma nette, precise, pulite, una bocca morbida rotonda, in grande armonia, fresca e allo stesso tempo burrosa come uno chardonnay. Un solo difetto... Poco persistente, quasi corto ma lo perdono volentieri visto il piacere che dona. — 9 years ago
Encore passablement austère, les tanins font sentir leur présence. Le fruit (noir) est présent mais en arrière-plan, ce sont les notes de bitume qui attirent l'attention. C'était ma dernière bouteille de cette cuvée. Je crois que je l'aurais davantage appréciée dans 5 ans. Fort bon tout de même, mais clairement plus intellectuel qu'hédoniste. — 4 years ago
Buen vino, a un buen precio. — 5 years ago

Every time I have a Morlet Chardonnay, I wonder why I don’t enjoy them more often.
Pop and pour and 100% open for business. It has this unique toasted marshmallow aromatic that I always associate with Marcassin (funny enough, this vineyard isn’t too far from Marcassin in Fort Ross Seaview), along with such sweet, juicy tropical fruit like peach and guava, as well as honey roasted cashews. Up front is seems like it’s going to coat the entire mouth, but it fans out in a really elegant profile (sea salt dusted lemon scone, yellow fruits, honeysuckle) with a nice zip of acidity on the finish. Absolutely delicious right now, and I don’t see this getting much (if any) better. — 3 years ago
