Morlet Family Vineyards 2016 Estate Cabernet Napa Valley USA Chateau Kirwan lime and quince are heldThe 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Morlet Estate comes from a vineyard just outside of Saint Helena and its always a more structured, masculine wine compared to the Passionnement release. Opulent notes of black fruits, chocolate, smoked earth, and some obvious minerality all emerge from this full bodied, structured, big boned Cabernet Sauvignon thats going to benefit from 4 5 years of bottle age and keep for 2 3 decades. 97 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
