| There are a lot of highlights in this range from Luc and Jodie Morlet. Before focusing on specific wines, one thing that is clear is that over the last few years Luc Morlet has given his wines greater emphasis on freshness, but he has done that gradually, in such a way that the wines’ essential personalities remain pretty much as they have always been. That’s all to say that these are gorgeous, sumptuous wines built on serious textural richness, but with a bit more nuance than in the past, a pretty appealing combination in my book. The 2015s are all marked by lower yields of around 30% for the Chardonnays and Cabernets to as much as 50% for the Pinots. One of the consequences of vintages like 2015 where yields are abnormally low is that the wine’s aren’t always as differentiated as they can be. That is certainly the case with the 2015 Chardonnays, for example. The Pinots and Cabernets appear less affected, but I did not taste the 2016s for comparison, as I did with the Chardonnays. Even so, this is a stellar set of new and upcoming releases by any measure. - From Sonoma & Napa Valley Supplement 2018 (Jul 2018) by Antonio Galloni |
| Wine maker notes |
| Our unique estate lies on the western foothills, just north of the town of St. Helena. Shallow loamy topsoil, rocky alluvial subsoil and full sun exposure create ideal conditions for our Cabernet Sauvignon vines. Respecting its historic 1880 charm, we restored the pre-prohibition stone winery, which is illustrated on the label. Handcrafted by using classical winemaking techniques and with the uncompromised and ongoing pursuit of quality, this wine represents the precious memory of a very special place. |
