Luc and Jodie's "Mon Chevalier" Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the family's vineyard in the foothills of Knights Valley. The vineyard benefits from its proximity to Mount St. Helena, whose warm and windy climate is ideal for the long ripening of the Bordeaux red varietals. The grapes are first sorted cluster by cluster, then berry by berry, ensuring that only the finest grapes go into the wine.

JEB DUNNUCK 99 POINTS - "The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Mon Chevalier comes from the Knights Valley, just north of Napa Valley in the larger Sonoma County, and it always seems to me to have one foot in Napa and one foot in Sonoma. Boasting a similar ruby/purple color (as do all of the releases here), it’s slightly more reserved and stately (knightly, if you will), with building aromas and flavors of blackcurrants, toasted bread, dried violets, baking spices, and loamy earth. These carry to a pure, full-bodied, multi-dimensional Cabernet that’s flawlessly balanced, has ripe yet certainly present tannins, a notable sense of minerality, and a great, great finish. It’s just another incredible wine from Luc Morlet that can be drunk today with ample pleasure or cellared for 20-30 years if, for some reason, you feel the need to delay gratification."

ANTONIO GALLONI 97 POINTS - "The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Mon Chevalier shows all of the energy and delineation of Knights Valley in its drive. Crushed rocks, graphite, rose petal, mint and espresso complement a core of inky red/purplish berry fruit. A wine of true distinction and class, the 2018 is superb from the first taste. This is a classic Knights Valley Cabernet. It was done two-thirds in steel and one-third in puncheon."

ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 95 POINTS - "Mon Chevalier comes from an estate-owned vineyard in the Knights Valley, mainly planted to clone 4. The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Mon Chevalier is composed of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Cabernet Franc. It has a very deep purple-black color, leaping from the glass with gregarious scents of kirsch, black raspberries, cassis and cedar chest, plus nuances of lavender, wild sage and tilled soil. The full-bodied palate is packed with taut, muscular black fruit with a firm backbone of grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing with a lively herbal lift. 465 cases were made."
