2012 | Morlet Mon Chevalier Cabernet Sauvignon | Knights Valley Domaine de la Butte bone dry and stuffed fullThe 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.
