Couer De Vallee 2019

An extraordinary, opulent Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon showcasing rich power and seamless elegance. It captivates with a complex bouquet of crème de cassis, black cherry, and tobacco, leading to a voluptuous, full-bodied palate framed by ultra-fine, silky tannins.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with prime dry-aged ribeye steak, slow-roasted rack of lamb, venison with berry reduction, or rich beef Wellington.

On this occasion, as part of a long vertical, I was even more impressed by Morlet's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Coeur de Vallee than I had been in the past, when I awarded it 95 points. Marked by scents of cassis, blueberries and cherries, it's full-bodied, plush and rich, showing wonderful balance between concentration and lightness and finishing long.

Mostly Clone 4 Cabernet Sauvignon with 6% Cabernet Franc, all from a site next to To Kalon, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Coeur De Vallée offers lots of darker currant and black cherry fruits as well as notes of cedary spice, new leather, and dried herbs. These carry to a full-bodied, concen-palate, and one hectrated, incredibly complex Oakville Cabernet with sweet tannins, a great midk of a finish.

94 Points - James Suckling

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.
