Each harvest, we love to celebrate this time-honored commitment while our children stomp a small vat of Pinot Noir from California’s Sonoma Coast. As for any family celebration or casual gathering, this handcrafted wine is to be appreciated ‘En Famille.’ Intense raspberry, wild strawberry, forest floor and earthy notes (graphite), very rich and complex with a leathery lingering finish. Will age gracefully for over a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePropietary Name\tEn Famille \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Name Meaning\tWith the family (with kids’ help) 5 generations with Pinot Noir \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Varietal composition\tPinot Noir (100%) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Type of wine\tVineyard designated \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Appellation\tFort Ross-Seaview \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Vineyard singularity\tOn the 2nd ridge off Pacific Ocean 1,100 feet of elevation Goldridge sedimentary soil \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Typical harvest date\tOctober Picking\tManual, small lugs, refer truck Sorting\tCluster by cluster, berry per berry \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Fermentation\tThrough native yeast Punch downs Puncheons only Upbringing\t14 months French oak from artisan coopers \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Bottling\tUnfiltered \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Cellaring time\t10+ years \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Serving\tSlightly below room temperature No decanting\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReview:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThe 2020 Pinot Noir En Famille, bottled in March 2022, is medium ruby-purple colored. It is a little subdued at this youthful stage, delivering shy notions of wild thyme, damp soil, and cedar before giving way to a core of cherry pie, raspberry preserves, and mulberries. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is delicately styled and subtly layered, with red fruits and earthy accents supported by fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing savory. This comes from a vineyard planted in 1990, right next door to the “Coteaux Nobles” vineyard in Fort Ross-Seaview AVA. 350 cases were made.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Wine Independent 95 Points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949241888815,"sku":"369758","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/morletenfambtl_2fca0349-bc00-4f14-8135-e59079d270d1.jpg?v=1771492044","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/morlet-family-vineyards-en-famille-pinot-noir-2020","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
