Morlet 2021 'Coeur de Vallee' Beckstoffer To Kalon Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

98 Points Parker                                                              
Morlet makes some of the most coveted wines in Sonoma and all of California. These are some of the top-scoring wines of the vintage. Limited.

98 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Coming from Oakville and just about all Clone 4, the Morlet 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Coeur De Vallee is a screaming good effort displaying a rich, full-bodied, layered, and powerful style that somehow manages to stay flawlessly balanced and elegant. Jammy currants, dark chocolate, tobacco, black olive, and lead pencil shavings all define this remarkable 2021, which is deep purple-hued and has ripe, polished tannins and flawlessly integrated fruit, oak, tannins, and acidity. It deserves 4-5 years in the cellar and should hit full maturity a decade after the vintage. It will keep for 30+ years."

97 Points Robert Parker: "A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, the Morlet 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Coeur de Vallee is Morlet's Napa Valley calling card, drawn from the family's estate vineyard in Oakville. There are 1,200 cases of this richly concentrated beauty, which marries blueberries and cherries on the nose, while being full-bodied and velvety on the palate and layered and long on the finish."

In St. Helena, the heart of the Napa Valley, Luc and Jodie Morlet handcraft vins de terroirs and unique cuvées from the surrounding Napa Valley and Sonoma Coast. Meticulously farmed vineyards and low-intervention winemaking techniques produce powerful yet refined wines displaying personality, complexity and graceful aging capability. By taking Old World principles and adapting them to California, the Morlet style results in wines which are harmonious in their intensity, richness and refinement. Unwavering commitment to quality leads to small yields, attentive sorting, and the highest standard when blending. Thus, a very limited amount of each wine is produced.
