Description

Morlet Wines Reserve Zinfandel 2014

This is the serious one. All of the release comes from only one barrel so there are only about 30 dozen available

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% estate grown Zinfandel, from Margaret River (Wilyabrup)

Taste Profile: The prime example of a classic Zinfandel, with blackcurrant, boysenberry, cranberry and cedar and cigars. think fruit cake, raisins and stewed forest fruit games on the palate, with a spicy redcurrant finish. A long lengthy wine with soft tannins keeps you coming back for another glass. definitely bring out the decanter for this one.

Winemaking Process: The best pickings were set aside on oak for 24 months on first and second run Pennsylvanian American oak.

Shouldered & Powerful Reds

Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.

They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus
