Morlet Family Vineyards Description

A harmonious blend of the three classic white Bordeaux varietals grown in the Golden State’s Sonoma County, this unique cuvée was handcrafted using classical winemaking techniques inspired from Pessac-Léognan. As in architectural arts, it is ‘The Golden Ratio’ or ‘La Proportion Dorée.’

Bright yellow. Intense bouquet of candied lemon, muscat, and honeysuckle flavors intermixed with sweet notes of ripened apricot and fresh quince. Full-bodied, seamless, refined and complex.

Stephen Tanzer: 93 Points

Pale, bright gold. Captivating, sauvignon-dominated aromas of juniper berry, oyster shell and honeysuckle, plus a light fusel quality. Very ripe and honeyed; in fact, almost chardonnay-like in its richness and texture. But still quite primary today, combining the phenolic qualities of semillon with the acid zest from the sauvignon blanc. Finishes broad, lush and very dry, with excellent subtle length. Morlet suggests pairing this wine with foie gras or sea urchin.
