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.

The 2019 Pinot Noir En Famille presents a more exuberant, racy expression of Fort Ross-Seaview. The purity of the fruit is compelling. The En Famille is a blend of two southeast-facing blocks in one of the lower elevation sections of the estate. Succulent red cherry, plum, new leather, mocha and sweet spice fill out the layers in this super-expressive Pinot Noir from Luc and Jodie Morlet.

The En Famille Pinot Noir comes from a vineyard planted in 1990 to Goldridge soils, right next door to the “Coteaux Nobles” vineyard in Fort Ross-Seaview. A barrel sample, the 2019 Pinot Noir En Famille displays a medium ruby-purple color and fragrant notes of freshly crushed black cherries, black raspberries and mulberries, plus hints of candied violets, chocolate box and spearmint. The full-bodied, richly fruited palate is packed with juicy black berry flavors, framed by plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing on a lingering cool-mint note. 375 cases are due to be made.
