Lot #579. Morlet Family Vineyards Propreitary Red Force de la Nature 2016

Description: Consists of 1 Magnum, 1.5L
Score: 100 WA.
"Made of 100% Cabernet Franc from Beckstoffer's To Kalon vineyard, the very deep purple-black colored 2016 Cabernet Franc Force de la Nature is a little closed to begin, emitting slowly releasing scents of rose hips, oolong tea, dried roses, red loam and pencil shavings over notions of kirsch, redcurrant jelly, crushed black berries and black raspberries plus a waft of chocolate box. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is wonderfully elegant, giving beautifully fine-grained tannins and just enough freshness to lift the perfumed fruit to a very long finish. Morlet’s spectacular “Force de la Nature” from Becktoffer’s To Kalon vineyard continues to set the bar sky-high for Napa Valley Cabernet Franc. 175 cases produced, to be released in the fall of 2019." Wine Advocate Interim, Oct 2018
Provenance: The Alpha Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
