Product Description
DR97 Such an elegant pure, pretty wine with finesse of character and juicy, bright energy. Heady and lifted aromatics lead with red and black-toned fruit, cherry and cherry pit, and lovely tobacco spices. Medium to full-bodied offering ripe strawberry, black cherry and blackberry underscored by crunchy acidity, almost like biting into pomegranate seeds. Silken tannins are long and beam-like, almost cedar-tinged, and flourishes of toffee and toasty oak round out a plush and fashionable wine. From Luc Morlet's estate in St. Helena, harvested at the end of September before the Glass Fire and aged 16 months in French oak, unfined and unfiltered.
RP96 Production of the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Morlet Estate was limited to just 190 cases. All Cabernet Sauvignon from the six-acre parcel at the winery in Saint Helena, it offers up attractive shadings of dried sage, plus black cherries and cassis. It's full-bodied in the mouth, with a rich, almost chocolaty feel across the palate and then long on the finish, with a gentle coating of soft, dusty tannins.
