Les Petits Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

First time trying this wine. The Somm explained that this was made from young vines. It was pretty impressive. Dark and brooding in the glass, red fruits stand out on the nose. The palate is a touch heavy, fruit forward with dark cherries and hints of chocolate, all balanced by slight savory notes of gravel and olive, sweet tannins, great finish.

Blackberries, black currants, mocha, graphite, and oak. Tasty.

Ok. So. This wine is still on the way up. More red than black fruit here. Nose here seems quite a bit darker than the palate. Entry is young, sweet red licorice and underripe black cherry. Bit of acidity on the finish. Wine was a bit youthful but IMO this "Petit" Morlet should be called "Le Waaay Petit Morlet." Little more medium bodied than expected. QPR a bit poor here. Drink now. Better yet, sell it off.

The most approachable wine in the Morlet line up. No need to decant and you can open this up right away to enjoy the fruit, silky tannins, and elegant finish.

Very well balanced. Strong and tasty

Very well balanced, fresh and surprisingly drinkable. Soft red fruits with floral and apple notes.

The 2012 is drinking wonderfully although it has a long life ahead of it.

Touch of green pepper

Not a bad wine for Christmas lunch with the firm.

Very approachable at an early stage. Made from a blend of their younger vines. Drink early! Tannins fully integrated and silky smooth. LOVE IT! #happyfathersday
