Description
Growing up the children of a fifth-generation French winemaker, Paul and Claire Morlet spent much of their childhood exploring vineyards while Luc shared his knowledge and passion for viticulture and winemaking with them. From a judicious blend of different barrels, this special cuvée embodies the youthful character and energy of younger vines and is the offspring of our mature Cabernet Sauvignon bottlings. Named in honor of Paul and Claire, who are now remarkable young adults, ‘Les Petits Morlet’ represents their passion, talents, optimism, and future. The fruit is from young vines from Morlet Family estate vineyards; farming is organic and regenerative by the full-time, year-round Morlet farming team. The 2023 'Les Petits Morlet' Cabernet Sauvignon is a dark ruby-hued, medium-to-full-bodied Napa Valley wine. It features a classic Cabernet nose of dark currants, black cherries, tobacco, scorched earth, truffle, and spicy wood, leading into a juicy, layered palate with ripe, fine-grained tannins and a crisp finish.
