" This is their second label for the Cabernet, produced from the barrels that didn’t make the cut for the final blend. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Les Petits Morlet comes bursting forth out of the glass with gregarious notes of warm cassis, blackberry preserves and chocolate-covered cherries with hints of black tea, wild sage and tobacco. Full-bodied and laden with crunchy black fruits, it has a solid frame of ripe, grainy tannins and great vivacity right through the long finish."
