Review Date: 10/2024The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Mon Chevalier is one of the most elegant wines in this vertical. It shows the energy of years like 2010, but with added finesse and nuance, remarkable for such a potent wine. Ripe red cherry, red plum, game, cured meats, licorice and dried rose petal build effortlessly in the glass. This is such a gorgeous and expressive wine. Its vertical intensity and overall depth are impressive. (AG)

The Bordeaux varietals range from a tiny 180 cases of Morlet's Force de La Nature (100% Cabernet Franc from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard) to 650 cases of his Knights Valley Mon Chevalier. The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Mon Chevalier, a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 3% Merlot and the rest Malbec and Petit Verdot, offers cassis, mocha, loamy soil undertones, plenty of chocolate, blackberry and a full-bodied, lush style. Peter Michael was the first to exploit just how superb Knights Valley Bordeaux varietals can be, but Morlet has certainly proven with this wine what is possible. (RP)
