2016 "Morlet Estate"

The 2016 Morlet Estate, from the Morlets' St. Helena property, is fabulous. Rich, deep and structured, the 2016 possesses tremendous class and pedigree to burn. In this tasting, the Estate stands out for its vertical lift and tannic spine, both of which give it considerable energy. There is so much to like.

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.
