Morét’s wine journey began in the tasting room of Silver Oak – where Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme. Later, during her five-year tenure at HALL Wines, her connection to the varietal only deepened. So while she went on to launch her own Pinot-focused label, it was only a matter of time before Cabernet made its way into her barrels—despite Adam’s frequent jabs that Cabernet is “the inferior grape” (Adam Lee has been written up as a Pinot Wizard, Legend, and Whisperer – clearly a bias towards Pinot).
The opportunity came when a client asked Morét to craft a Cabernet Sauvignon. Knowing this moment would come, Adam had been preparing—slowly and strategically influencing her Cabernet palate. He wasn’t opposed to Cabernet entirely (after all, he grew up loving the legendary 1984–1987 vintages); he just disliked what many modern Cabs had become. So he would frequently share with her Cabernets focusing on his preferences: ecstatic regarding a winemaker dinner with Cathy Corison, opening bottles from Pilcrow, and securing an invite to the Spottswoode Garden Party.
As a nod to his influence, Morét swapped her signature California poppy label for the Texas bluebonnet—Adam’s home state flower.
Her debut Cabernet is a thoughtful blend of classic structure and modern concentration. Grown on a steep hillside above northern Sonoma Valley with a western view toward Sebastopol, the fruit wasn’t picked until late October in 2023—small berries, low yields, and loads of character. The vineyard produced less than two tons per acre, and the result is a Cabernet that’s vibrant, textured, with an honest Cabernet character.
Only 92 cases were made—and in a world of overripe, overpriced Cabs, this one is a welcome outlier. Even Adam is impressed.
