| Community Tasting Notes (average 94.2 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 10 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by StevenM on 6/1/2023 & rated 95 points: A really nice alternative to a Sauterne, with much less sugar and an unique spiciness. Apple, pear, and apricot on the nose and on the tongue. Extremely well balanced. Lovely spices evolve through the finish including a little sting from hints of pepper, ginger, and lemon. (550 views) | | | Tasted by dkwins on 4/13/2023 & rated 94 points: Excellent, rich, but not overly sweet. Pleasing Apricot, pear notes.

Roses and violets.
Acidity in the finish. (1638 views) | | | Tasted by GTFreek on 1/25/2020: 64/29/7 Semillon/Sauv Blanc/Muscadelle. Lovely nose, complex palate but a little sugary for my tastes, without underneath development. Good wine overall. (1690 views) | | | Tasted by csimm on 12/9/2019 & rated 94 points: Morlet: A late harvest that does what it can to avoid becoming too clumsy or cloying. It’s rich and viscous, but never heavy. Ripe, sweet peach, nectarine, and dried apricot make up the lion-share of flavors here. Some lemon oil and honey touch down as well mid-palate. Finishes fairly clean, with enough verve to maintain a sense of push for the saturated essences making up the overall profile. 94 points. (3752 views) | | | Tasted by jgreco on 9/19/2019 & rated 96 points: Tastings; 9/19/2019-9/20/2019 (Napa): An intense nose of apricots, honey, apple, and almonds. Full bodied with impressive structure, but not overly syrupy. This is drinking well now and should continue to do so over the next couple decades. Tasted at the Morlet winery. (1774 views) | | | Tasted by csimm on 2/7/2019 & rated 94 points: Morlet tasting (Saint Helena): Apricot and honey dominate the profile here. Pleasantly viscous without coming off heavy or syrupy. A nice combination of mid-palate density/concentration and speed. A succulent and semi-chewy finish.
Bust out a stinky wheel of Epoisses cheese and have a grand ‘ol time with this Billet Doux! (2856 views) |
| Morlet Family Vineyards Producer WebsiteUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyAlexander Valley Alexander Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia
