Morlet Family Vineyards Coteaux Nobles Fort Ross Seaview Pinot Noir 2021
2021 Morlet Family Vineyards ‘Côteaux Nobles’ Pinot Noir
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.’

The deep red/ruby 2021 ‘Côteaux Nobles’ comes out swinging. Packed with layered aromas of sassafras, framboise, roses, cedar, Asian spice, and coriander, it’s medium to full-bodied and propels through the palate with ripe tannins, a long finish, and a plush feel, although it also retains a more vertical spine of fresh acidity throughout.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Côteaux Nobles is a stunner. Bright, floral and beautifully layered in the glass, the 2021 offers up an exotic mix of red/purplish fruit, blood orange, spice, new leather, cedar and mint. This is a wine of restraint, with less opulence than the past, but still plenty of richness. Pretty floral and spice overtones lift the finish.
94 Wine Advocate
The 2021 Pinot Noir Coteaux Nobles features a dramatically perfumed nose redolent of ripe cherries and raspberries. Planted to a suitcase selection in the mid 1990s, it's medium to full-bodied, wonderfully silky and generous on the palate, but it tightens up nicely on the finish, reaching a long, crescendo of fruit intensity.
