Disclaimer-I distribute this wine in Ohio and Kentucky
2006 Morlet Family La Porportion Doree- I met Luc Morlet a few years ago when he placed his wines at our distributorship. Luc started his in his family champagne house, worked at various wine houses in France and eventually moved to Napa where he's been making wine for Newton, Peter Michael, Staglin and Chateau Boswell. He started making his own wine a few years ago concentrating on Pinot Noir and a wonderful Semillion, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle blend called "La Proportion Doree". The blend is mostly Semillion with about a third SB and a touch of Muscadelle. Very rich and oily in the glass. Nose of lemon zest, orange marmalade and wet stones. Nice citrusy tang on the palate with a lush mouthfeel. Plenty of ripe up front fruit with fig, and a touch of mango a little petrol and mineral on the finish. A bit pricey at $60 which I assume is a product of the ultra low production of this wine.
