2009 Morlet Family Vineyards La Proportion Doree ( 94-96 RP)

Rated 94©\96, Robert Parker: The 2009 La Proportion Doree is an exquisite blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. A full©\bodied, layered, palate©\staining offering with lots of marmalade and citrus oil characteristics, this is a compelling white wine to drink over the next 7©\8 years. Winemaker notes: A harmonious blend of the three classic white Bordeaux varietals grown in the Golden State¡¯s Sonoma County, this unique cuv¨¦e was handcrafted using classical winemaking techniques inspired from Pessac©\L¨¦ognan. As in architectural arts, it is ¡®The Golden Ratio¡¯ or ¡®La Proportion Dor¨¦e.¡¯ Bright yellow. Intense bouquet of candied lemon, muscat, and honeysuckle flavors intermixed with sweet notes of ripened apricot and fresh quince. Full©\bodied, seamless, refined and complex.
