2020 Morlet Coeur De Vallée

Beginning with the 2006 vintage, Luc Morlet, former winemaker of Peter Michael Winery and his wife, Jodie Morlet, have been handcrafting vins de terroir and unique cuvées of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet franc from the Napa Valley as well as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the Sonoma coast. Meticulously farmed vineyards and low-intervention winemaking techniques produce powerful yet refined wines. By taking old world principles and adapting them to Califormia, the Morlet style results in wines, which are harmonious in their intensity, richness, complexity and refinement. The Coeur de Vallée is located in the famous Oakville appellation, in the heart of the Napa Valley. It is on the east-west road that includes Peter Michael Winery's 'Au Paradis' vineyard, Dalla Valle Vineyards, Screaming Eagle, To Kalon vineyard and Harlan Estate. To Kalon Creek meanders through our property, and the Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc vines benefit from the gravelly, silty Bale soil derived from an alluvial delta in this warm but temperate climate. The 2020 vintage “Boasting an intense and complex bouquet of crushed strawberry, cassis, blackberry, blackcherry, figleaf, mocha and tobacco leaf,the 2020 ‘Coeur de Vallée’ is rich and concentrated, with a superb entry of red and black fruits, dark bitter sweet chocolate, Kahlúa liqueur, dried lavender, potpourri and cedar cigar box. With round tannins and a creamy texture, this is a magnificent wine!” Luc Morlet
