Since 2006, Luc & Jodie Morlet have been handcrafting vineyard specific wines and unique cuvees from their meticulously farmed vineyards in Napa Valley. Through adopting old world principles through a Californian lense, the Morlet style results in intense, rich and complex wines. 

Located on the hillsides of Knights Valley, the Mon Chevalier vineyard is the perfect site for the long ripening of Bordeaux red varietals, namely Cabernet Sauvignon. Their 2016 vintage delivers a luxurious experience for the senses. Complex flavors and aromas of dark fruit, mocha and a touch of spice are all wrapped together on a soft, velvety palate. This bottle is a prime example of the Morlet wines' character and graceful ageing capability.
