2021 Morlet 'Coteaux Nobles' Pinot Noir Fort Ross-Seaview

Winemaker Notes: Very intense and kirsch flavors with earthy notes (graphite), rich, round and seamless with a very fruity lingering finish. The ‘Côteaux Nobles’ Pinot Noir will age gracefully for well over a decade. Located on the Sonoma Coast, on the eastern slope (Côte) of the second ridge from the Pacific Ocean, this unique hillside vineyard (Côteau) benefits from the cool maritime breeze and the mild and sunny mountain climate. The noble site’s natural conditions are ideal for growing excellent Pinot Noir in the Goldridge soil. Handcrafted using classical Burgundian winemaking techniques, it is the ‘Noble Hillsides’ or ‘Côteaux Nobles.’

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2021 Pinot Noir Coteaux Nobles features a dramatically perfumed nose redolent of ripe cherries and raspberries. Planted to a suitcase selection in the mid 1990s, it's medium to full-bodied, wonderfully silky and generous on the palate, but it tightens up nicely on the finish, reaching a long, crescendo of fruit intensity."
