  I have become a big fan of Morlet Family Vineyard wines. This did not disappoint as it was a pleasure to drink and had a lot going on in a medium bodied package. Really nice structure supporting the red fruited wine. Nice minerality, fine tannins and a very lively long finish. Especially good with food. Improved with a 2 hour decant and held up well over 2 days (think I liked the package a little better on day #1). Drinking like a young wine and has lots of time to further develop and soften.

  Consistently one of the smoothest wines ever. Paired with Filet at top steakhouse in town and it matched marvelously!

  About as close to perfection as I have tasted. Smooth finish, with a perfect lingering aftertaste that reminded you that you had just drank something fabulous.

  Definitely a blockbuster wine. Drank over three days and day 2 was the best, it seemed to have the most balance. Sometimes it has a Bordeaux nose and sometimes it comes off pure Napa Valley. Like the winemaker I guess.
  
  It really needs more time but quite enjoyable and certainly 93 pts at the present.

  Refreshingly reserved, nothing over the top in your face here. just a round polished spine balanced with soft ripe fruit and a bit of fresh acidity. Just a quick splash decant and ready to go.
