“The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Morlet Estate comes from a vineyard
just outside of Saint Helena and it’s always a more structured, masculine wine
compared to the Passionnement release. Opulent notes of black fruits,
chocolate, smoked earth, and some obvious minerality all emerge from this
full-bodied, structured, big-boned Cabernet Sauvignon that’s going to benefit
from 4-5 years of bottle age and keep for 2-3 decades.” (6/2019)

“Composed of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from
Margaux cuttings, the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Morlet
Estate features bold notions of crème de cassis, mocha, Black Forest cake and
hoisin with hints of chargrill, sautéed herbs and truffles. While generously
fruited and full-bodied, the palate reveals beautiful elegance and bags of
finesse, displaying super ripe, grainy tannins with great freshness, finishing
very long and mineral laced. 275 cases produced, to be released in the fall of
2019.” (10/2018)
