Morlet Chardonnay Ma Douce 2017
98 Points | RP
“‘Ma Douce’ comes from a vineyard in Fort Ross- Seaview—not far from Marcassin Vineyard. It is planted mainly to Old Wente clone selection. The 2017 Chardonnay ‘Ma Douce’ comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant notes of ripe peaches, pink grapefruit and guava plus hints of butterscotch, toasted almonds, orange blossoms and acacia honey. Full- bodied, the palate is laden with exotic fruit and citrus layers, offset by a wicked backbone of freshness and the most seductive creaminess to the texture, finishing very long with tons of savory sparks.” - Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
