2017 Morlet Cabernet Sauvignon "Mon Chevalier", Knights Valley, Napa Valley, California, USA
ABOUT THIS WINE
ï»ż86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 3% Merlot, 2% Malbec, and 1% Petit Verdot. Knights Valley AVA near Calistoga, Rhyolitic, loam, and volcanic ash soils. Manual harvest. Native yeast fermentation. 16 months aging in French oak. Unfiltered. Mon Chevalier means 'My Knight,' and is named after the son of Luc and Jodie Morlet, Paul.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
ï»żBeginning with the 2006 vintage, Luc & Jodie Morlet have been handcrafting vineyard designated wines and unique cuvĂ©es of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from the Napa Valley as well as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah, a Proprietary white Bordeaux-style blend and a Late Harvest SĂ©millon from Sonoma County. Meticulously farmed vineyards and low-intervention winemaking techniques produce powerful yet refined wines.
By taking old world principles and adapting them to California, the Morlet style results in wines which are harmonious in their intensity, richness, complexity and refinement. It is this notion of harmony that inspired their logo, based upon 19th century French artist Mathurin Moreauâs sculpture entitled, âLâHarmonie.â The Morlet wines clearly display personality, seamless character and graceful ageing capability.
All of Morletâs wines are handcrafted using classical winemaking techniques from Burgundy and Bordeaux and matured in only the finest 100% French oak barrels.
