Morlet Family Vineyards
Morlet Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
St. Helena, Napa Valley, California, USA
I liked the mix of red and blue fruits, vanilla, spice, with decent amount of tannin to provide the underlying structure and acidity to wrap it all together.

Jun 29th, 2020This was fantastic tonight. Cassis, blackberries, perfume, cocoa, cedar, graphite and a two minute finish. While a big one, it is well balanced, and will likely be better in several more years.

A whole new kind of concentrated and complex fruit. Decanted for 1.5hrs which helped it but might have needed more time. Probably needs a few more years for the tannins to really integrate and mellow out. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. A beauty!

So “California” compared other Luc creations but... WOW! Delicious fruit, currants, graphite, and dry field grass. Still young but the tannins are fairly light. I think another 3-5 will be perfect.

2018 vintage. From Coravin. First or second best old or new Napa Cab nose I've smelled this year. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Phenomenal bouquet. Grippy mountain fruit vibes. Lean and mean up front with some meat and softness near the caboose. Neither directly old or new school but evoking certain echoes of both while attempting to carve out a unique path/destiny. 10.24.24.

Epic night at Napa Rose. Jennifer really liked this.

Jul 6th, 2022Quick decanter really brought out the fruit and this wine continues to show multiple layers of flavors: dark and red fruit, some cooking herbs as well as mocha and tobacco. Tannins are really mellowing out and it’s smooth drinking from here.
