Tasting notes
Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Morlet Estate vineyard and aged 16 months in French oak, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Morlet Estate shows darker currants, smoked tobacco, iron, truffle, and blood-like iron nuances. It's full-bodied and ultra-pure on the palate, with fine tannins, no hard edges, and a gorgeous finish. This was tight, firm, and masculine on release, yet it's blossomed into a truly magical, sensational St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon that you could put side by side with any Cabernet Sauvignon in the world and it would do just fine. It's clearly in its prime drinking window yet has another 30 years of overall longevity. Drink 2026-2056.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Morlet Estate is an absolutely gorgeous wine that captures all the personality and pedigree of St. Helena's Northern Corridor. Bright red cherry, red plum, mint and rose petal notes give the 2015 its signature brightness and aromatic lift. Rich and resonant on the palate, but distinctly medium in body, the Morlet Estate is pure class. A rush of red-toned fruit builds into the beautifully persistent finish. This is one of the most distinctive Cabernets in Napa Valley. The purity of the flavors is striking.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Morlet Estate Cabernet Sauvignon has expressive red currant and black currant notes over hints of cedar chest, bay leaves, tobacco leaf, anise and fertile loam. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the mouth with bright, intense red and black fruit layers, supported by fantastically ripe grainy tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long and toasty. 275 cases were made.
