This 2014 Morlet Mon Chevalier from Knights Valley is a dark, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon bursting with intense notes of cassis, blueberry, and black currant, layered with savory graphite, loamy earth, and warm spices. Its richly tannic yet round frame delivers classical aromatic complexity and a very long finish, making it a muscular, structured wine that recalls the earthy elegance of Pessac-Léognan rather than the fruit-forward intensity of typical Napa Cabs. While it is a backward wine that needs four to five years of cellaring to fully come together, its fantastic complexity and building finish make it a compelling choice for collectors who appreciate spice and depth.

Serve this wine with a slow-roasted beef venison or a hearty venison stew to match its savory, meaty character.
