Tasting notes
Production of the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Morlet Estate was limited to just 190 cases. All Cabernet Sauvignon from the six-acre parcel at the winery in Saint Helena, it offers up attractive shadings of dried sage, plus black cherries and cassis. It's full-bodied in the mouth, with a rich, almost chocolaty feel across the palate and then long on the finish, with a gentle coating of soft, dusty tannins.

The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Morlet Estate is another super-classy wine from Luc Morlet. Linear and rich, it offers good depth and fine persistence. Like all of the 2020s, it lacks some of the mid-palate depth of the best years, but it compensates for that with its energy and drive. Impressive.
The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Morlet Estate is another full-bodied, structured, masculine wine that certainly does well in the vintage. Ripe black fruits, iron, darker chocolate, and tobacco are just some of its nuances, and I love its mid-palate density. It has ripe, building tannins, tons of minerality on the finish, and it's beautifully balanced.
