(Robert Parker's rating: 95 points)
2019年是第一個年份，完全用上家族於Oakville葡萄園出產的葡萄。深沉的香氣，富有黑加侖子、壤土和莫加咖啡的味道。酒體飽滿，豐富柔滑，容易入口。餘韻柔和、奢華。

豐富而帶些甜，非常性感。超級細膩、粉狀單寧。帶有雲呢拿等香料、黑加侖子，以及一絲烤紅椒和牛奶朱古力的味道。味道平衡、融合、餘韻悠長。純淨絲滑，令人愉悅的Napa紅酒。現在喝或陳年。
Morlet Family is a wine estate located in St. Helena, California. Luc Morlet represents the fifth-generation of a French winemaking family, which owns Pierre Morlet & Fils in Champagne. Luc left France in 1996 to join his wife Jodie in her native California, they establish the estate beginning with the 2006 vintage.
Morlet's approach is low-interventionistic, and Old World in style. The grapes are fermented by natural yeasts and the wines are matured in French oak barrels. This results in wines which are powerful yet refined wines with ageing capability. Top-rated wines are sold to the high-profile restaurants around the world.

Tasting Notes:

The first vintage produced entirely from the family's own Oakville vineyard, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Coeur de Vallee boasts dark aromas and flavors of cassis, loam and mocha. Full-bodied, rich and velvety, it flows easily across the palate, easing into a soft, plush finish.
(James Suckling's rating: 94 points)
Rich and a little “sweet”, very voluptuous and hedonistic. Ultra-fine, powdery tannins, vanilla spices, cassis and a hint of roasted red capsicum and milk chocolate. Spicy, even and integrated on the palate with a long finish. Pure silk. 94% cabernet sauvignon and 6% cabernet franc. Very hedonistic and pleasurable Napa red. Drink now or hold.
