Only thing I don’t like is UPS charges an access point fee to drop off five dollars per case I would have it shipped to my apartment but you have to be present to sign for it and UPS is terrible about arranging that

2018 Morlet Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Les Petits Morlet (750ml)

Cabernet Sauvignon from Knights Valley, California

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

A well-guarded secret of savvy California collectors, Morlet Family Vineyards produces small quantities of exceptional, vineyard-driven wines that until now have been exclusively available to their mailing list and the world’s top restaurants, offering a rare opportunity to acquire these highly-rated Morlet selections from top vintages at best on the market pricing.

Born in Epernay, talented winemaker Luc Morlet’s roots stretch back five generations at his family’s estate in the Champagne region, mentored by legendary wine consultant Jacques Boissenot after attending viticultural school in France before moving to the US over two decades ago and working with top Napa winemakers like John Kongsgaard at Newton Vineyard. Described by Jeb Dunnuck as producing wines with “terrific richness and depth while remaining weightless and elegant,” Luc served as winemaker for some of the region’s most elite estates including Newton, Peter Michael and Staglin, crafting some of their top scoring wines before establishing his own label in 2006 with his California-born wife Jodie. Highlighting “the more sumptuous, extroverted side of top vineyard sites in both Napa Valley and Sonoma” according to Vinous critic Antonio Galloni, Luc sources his grapes from the region’s most iconic vineyards like To Kalon for Cab and Ritchie for Chard in addition to establishing his own estate vineyards near Morlet’s St. Helena winery. Starting off with his elegant Bordeaux-styled white, the lush and aromatic 99 pt. 2019 Morlet Family Vineyards La Proportion Doree is a blend of mostly Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon with a little Muscadelle, boasting a “lively backbone and epic length” according to the Wine Independent’s Lisa Perrotti-Brown. Jeb Dunnuck calls the 97 pt. 2019 Morlet Family Vineyards Chardonnay Ma Princesse from Russian River’s Ritchie Vineyard “terrific” and poised to “deliver the goods through 2033,” while he describes the 100 pt. 2019 Morlet Family Vineyards Chardonnay Coup de Coeur as an “uber barrel-selection blend” of Morlet’s Chardonnay vineyards that “does everything right,” balancing full-bodied richness and enticing minerality with “one heck of a long finish.” The 98 pt. 2018 Morlet Family Vineyards Pinot Noir Coteaux Nobles features “a plush texture and bags of freshness,” according to Lisa Perrotti-Brown, while the 96 pt. 2018 Morlet Family Vineyards Pinot Noir En Famille boasts luscious fresh and energetic fruit, labeled “a Pinot of real distinction” by Vinous critic Antonio Galloni. From two top vintages in the Fort Ross Seaview AVA, both scoring 98 pts., the fresh-fruited 2018 and 2019 Morlet Family Vineyards Pinot Noir Joli Coeur offer rich, vibrant berry flavors with smooth tannins and tantalizing minerality, summed up as “super appealing” by critic Galloni and built to enjoy over the next decade. And finally Luc’s stunning Cabernet Sauvignons from the exceptional 2016 vintage – the 98 pt. 2016 Morlet Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Coeur de Vallee, his To Kalon release that’s “a thrill a minute” according to Jeb Dunnuck and “as seamless and elegant as they come” – the 96 pt. 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Mon Chevalier from Morlet’s Knights Valley vineyard that’s “already terrific yet will keep for 20-25 years or more” according to Dunnuck – and the “fabulous” 97 pt. 2016 Morlet Cabernet Sauvignon Estate possessing “tremendous class and pedigree to burn” according to critic Antonio Galloni, composed of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Margaux cuttings planted in Morlet’s St. Helena vineyard.

An array of stunning, elegant wines balancing richly textured fruit with powerfully structured depth, these stellar Morlet selections rank “at the top end of the qualitative hierarchy” from “one of northern California’s most talented wine producers” according to Robert Parker Jr., all cellar worthy additions to any collection and a rare opportunity to acquire and enjoy Morlet’s beautifully crafted wines at an outstanding value.

Produced from estate grown, younger vines and from the barrels that didn’t make the cut for the final blends of the “grand vin” Cabernet labels, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Les Petits Morlet is a well-priced "second" label. Deep garnet-purple colored, it charges out of the gate with bold notions of blackberry pie, juicy black plums and black currant pastilles with hints of lavender, eucalyptus oil and cloves. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, the palate is bursting with black berry flavors, supported by plush tannins and a lively backbone, finishing with impressive length. Forget that this is a second label—this impeccably made Cabernet is just plain delicious!

Readers looking for a peek at the quality of this domaine should unquestionably check out the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Les Petits Morlet, which can be thought of as the entry level blend from winemaker Luc Morlet. It reveals a dense purple color as well as a classy nose of blackcurrant liqueur, smoked herbs, chocolate, violets, and new leather. These carry to a ripe, full-bodied, sexy 2018 that delivers serious amounts of fruit, a lifted, perfumed, already complex style, and the ability to evolve for 10-15 years, if not longer.

93 points, Jeb Dunnuck (Jan 2021)

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Les Petits Morlet is a delightful wine from Luc and Jodie Morlet. Soft, open-knit and so inviting, the 2018 is beautifully done. It captures all the house signatures, but in an accessible style, making it easy to drink and enjoy right now. Succulent dark cherry, raspberry, mocha, spice and licorice linger on the long, understated finish. This is an absolutely gorgeous second wine. Most of the fruit is from the Morlets' vineyard in Oakville, with some fruit from their sites in St. Helena and Knights Valley.
