Morlet Family Vineyards
La Proportion Dorée Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend
Sonoma County, California, USA
A library bottle I picked up when visiting the winery in Sept last year. The 2018 I had while there was absolutely astounding in how good it was, and jumped at a chance to try one with age. I truly believe this is easily a top-3 Bordeaux Blanc style coming out of Cali (and maybe my number one).
66 Semillon/33 SauvBlanc/2 muscadelle. The bright citrus notes started off faint (and were much more prominent at release) but soon gave way to beautiful honeyed tropical notes…honeysuckle, honeyed mango, ripe peach. The texture here has turned rich/creamy but not cloying. Notes of sweet spice, orange marmalade, lemon scone and finishes with a mineral-driven flair that had some serious length. Hard to believe this is 7-yr old white wine which seems to likely be at peak (and probably holds here for a few years). Fantastic!

Seamless and put together like a championship team. Lots of moving parts and versatility striving towards a single goal. RFG (really effing good). A decent amount of mystery and intrigue as well.

Really nice tonight. A lot of citrus fruit gong on in this wine. A well balanced wine.
