2011 Morlet Mon Chevalier Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley (1.5 Liter)

(91 Points  --  Wine Advocate)

More chocolaty notes intertwined with hints of blueberries, damp earth and burning embers jump from the glass of the structured, medium to full-bodied 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Mon Chevalier. A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest mostly Cabernet Franc from Knights Valley, it reveals firmer tannins and more structure than the offerings from Napa. Give it several years of bottle age and consume it over the following decade. (RP) 91+  Review Date: 10/2013
