Morlet Family Vineyards ‘Côteaux Nobles’ 2020

“The 2020 ‘Côteaux Nobles’ is medium ruby-purple colored. It sashays out with pretty notions of Bing cherries, fresh raspberries, and cranberry sauce with hints of chargrill and garrigue. The full-bodied palate is rich with loads of spicy notes coming through and a velvety texture, finishing with a refreshing lift.” Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent, Aug. 2022

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.’
