2012 | Morlet Mon Chevalier Cabernet Sauvignon | Knights Valley Domaine de la Butte There's some alcohol warmthThe 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Mon Chevalier is one of the more open knit wines made here, especially in the context of the surrounding vintages. The 2012 also shows a bit more of a red toned fruit profile than other vintages. Red cherry, red plum, white pepper, gravel and cured meats lend notable aromatic complexity throughout. The 2012 is a bit slender but nicely done, just the same. It is the most accessible of the four Morlet 2012s I tasted for this
