2013 Morlet Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Buying options
Tasting notes
Sourced from the Morlets’ St. Helena vineyard, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Morlet Estate marries fruit intensity and brightness. Red-toned fruit, blood orange, mint, cedar and sweet spices are all finely sculpted. This vibrant Cabernet pulses with energy and pure power. It's classic St. Helena in this style. I loved it. (AG)

Dark cherry, raspberry jam, wild flowers, chocolate, mint and sweet spices are front and center in the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Morlet Estate. Racy, powerful and voluptuous, the 2013 captures the personality that is typical of so many wines from this northern sector of St. Helena. The flavors profile is decidedly red-fruit leaning, but it is the interplay of all the elements that elevates the Estate.
From Luc Morlet's own estate just north of St. Helena, the 2013 Morlet Estate comes across like a first-growth Pauillac. Again 100% Cabernet Sauvignon with creamy blackcurrants and blackberry fruit, some licorice, graphite, and background oak, the wine displays excellent minerality, superb fruit intensity, and a multi-dimensional mouthfeel. It should drink well for at least 25-30 years.
