2019 Morlet Family Vineyards Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, St Helena, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml)

LP100 "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Morlet Estate (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) is deep garnet-purple colored. The nose is quite subdued to begin, offering youthful notes of ripe, juicy blackcurrant, fresh blackberries, and boysenberries with touches of camphor, violets, chocolate box, and cedar. Full-bodied, rich, and seductive, it has firm, exquisitely ripe, fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing epically long and with a myriad of perfumed layers. This 5.5-acre vineyard, with 100% Bouchet clone Cabernet Sauvignon from the "home" estate, was planted here in 2016, very close to the Colgin Tychson Hill vineyard. There is a fair amount of clay in the soil here, contributing to the density of the fruit and richness of the wine. 300 cases were made." LPB for TWI Aug 2022
