Cabernet Sauvignon
Rutherford

5 cases produced

Highlights

  • 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon from Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard in Rutherford
  • Dark fruit flavors of cassis and blackberry with elegant tannins; a true 2013 vintage expression
  • Selected by our winemaker, this wine comes from a single block, aged 20 months in new French oak
  • This wine represents the finest Rutherford fruit from an extraordinarily collectible 2013 vintage

Description

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer George III Vineyard exhibits terrific suppleness along with explosive fruit, sweet tannin, and is very complex. Despite all the rich fruit, the wine is well balanced. This is classic Rutherford wine: the aroma and flavor of what's become known as "Rutherford Dust."

This wine represents our debut to PATEL Napa Valley's vineyard designate program.

Luc Morlet

Winemaker, PATEL - Napa Valley

Winemaker, Luc Morlet

Wine has always been a way of life for Luc, who grew up working on his family Pinot Noir and Chardonnay domaine, Pierre Morlet & Fils, in Avenay-Val-d'Or, Champagne. Born in Epernay, France to a fourth-generation winegrower family, Luc, as a child, enjoyed learning about all of the practical and technical aspects of vineyard farming and winemaking.

Country born: France

Education: Luc Morlet is a Masters graduate of Enology from Rheims University, France and holds both a Viticulture degree from Ecole Viticole de Champagne and a MBA in Wine Business from Dijon Business School, Burgundy.

Years in the wine industry: 20-30 years

Winemaking Philosophy:
Passionate for both the expression of the terroirs as well as for the continuous pursuit of the ultimate quality, Luc calls his winemaking philosophy neo-classic laissez-faire without compromise. In other words, Luc describes it as a non-interventionist winemaking style driven by an ongoing search for quality improvement. With over 20 vintages under his belt (13 in California and 9 in France), and with his own zest for innovation, Luc uses century old principles and classic Burgundy and Bordeaux methods, while adapting to California's natural conditions.
