2019 Morlet Family Vineyards 'En Famille' Pinot Noir Fort Ross-Seaview
Just a sensational Pinot Noir, the 2019 Pinot Noir En Famille comes from the Fort Ross-Seaview appellation in the northern part of Sonoma. It offers a lifted, beautiful perfume of ripe black cherries and black raspberries as well as candied violets, orange blossom, and sappy green flowers. More spice and leather notes emerge with time in the glass, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, soft, supple tannins, good acidity, and a great finish. It brings lots of classic Morlet fruit and pleasure while showing a pretty, nuanced, nicely focused style on the palate. It's gorgeous on all accounts.- Jeb Dunnuck (97 points)

Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2019 ‘En Famille’ slips seductively out of the glass with notes of raspberry preserves, candied violets, and chocolate-covered cherries with hints of mossy tree bark and black truffles. The full-bodied palate is jam-packed with cherry cordial and savory accents, framed by very fine, silt-like tannins and just enough freshness, finishing very long and layered. -Lisa Perrotti-Brown
