Morgado Cellars Morgado Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 750ml

Like the 2015, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is totally brilliant. Incorporating 10% Cabernet Franc and 5%% Merlot brought up in French oak, it boasts a deep, saturated purple color as well as crème de cassis, blackberry jam, scorched earth, chocolate, graphite and huge minerality. Deep, concentrated, full-bodied, and beautifully textured, it’s one sexy 2014 that has more density, depth and concentration than most in the vintage. It’s a rocking Cabernet to drink anytime over the coming 15–20+ years. (Jeb Dunnuck)

A real profound effort is her blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot – the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Sugarloaf Mountain. This is a stunner. Aged in equal parts Darnajou and Taransaud cooperage, a fabulous nose of violets, graphite, blackberry and cassis is followed by a full-bodied, voluptuously textured and opulent wine with layers of black fruits, well-integrated acidity and tannin and a long finish of 45+ seconds. This is a stunner to drink now and over the next 20+ years.
