Located on the hillsides of Knights Valley, near Calistoga, this vineyard benefits from its proximity to Mount St. Helena, whose warm and windy climate is ideal for the long ripening of the Bordeaux red varietals. Handcrafted by using classical winemaking techniques, this special wine is dedicated to our son, Paul Morlet. | Morlet Family Wines

Dark red with a hue of purple, 'Mon Chevalier' boasts an intense and complex bouquet of red, black and blueberries intermixed with notes of minerals (graphite, wet river rocks) licorice, fresh blond tobacco, and a hint of lavender. Full-bodied, the palate is reminiscent of the nose, with a richly tannic yet round frame and a great intensity. The hillside tannins and classical aromatic complexity create a harmonious ensemble leading to a very long finish. Built to age for decades, this collectible wine opens up after a few years of cellaring. | Luc Morlet

The 2019 'Mon Chevalier' offers up all the classic Knights Valley notes of shaved pencil, graphite, spice, cured meats, rose petal, and licorice. A long, persistent finish rounds things out beautifully. This regal, sophisticated Cabernet is a total knock-out...a rich, voluminous wine built on textural resonance. Plush and silky, with fabulous depth...a total charmer... | 97 points, Antonio Galloni for Vinous

...as pure and classy as they come, with lots of cassis and black raspberry styled fruit as well as a new leather, dried herbs, and some obvious minerality. It's full-bodied, stunningly textured, has building tannins, and loads of opulence and baby fat.| 97 points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
