2019 Morlet, Passionnement Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml)

JD99 "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Passionnement is another wine that flirts with perfection. A selection of the top barrels in the cellar, it has beautiful purity in its red and black fruits as well as notes of tobacco leaf, new leather, unsmoked tobacco, and sandalwood. Full-bodied, rich, concentrated, and powerful, it’s a stunning wine on every level that will benefit from just short-term bottle age and keep for 20-30 years." JD Mar 2022

RP98 "A best-barrels blend, this year drawn primarily from the family's Oakville estate vineyard, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Passionnement is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged entirely in new French oak. Despite that, there's awesome purity to this wine's fruit expression, with cassis and deep, loamy notes taking the lead. Full-bodied, richly concentrated and creamy-textured on the mid-palate, it finishes long and velvety. Wow." JC for TWA Mar 2023

AG98 "A selection of the best barrels in the cellar, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Passionnément possesses tremendous resonance and tons of sheer volume. Crushed raspberry, black cherry, blood orange, spice and lavender flow as this extroverted, flamboyant wine shows off its racy curves and super inviting personality. The Passionnément marries power, opulence and gravitas." AG for VM Jan 2022
