Born into a family of winemakers in Champagne, Luc Morlet made wine in Bordeaux and Burgundy before his blossoming relationship with his now wife, Jodie, led him to California. After spells as chief winemaker at Newton and then the Peter Michael Winery, Luc and Jodie took the plunge in 2006 and set up Morlet Family Vineyards. Their central vision is one of hand-crafting wines that reflect Lucâ's expertise not only in drawing out terroir but also in the art of blending across lots to create a harmonious whole. One of the rare wineries to receive 100 point ratings across a range of varietals, today Morlet Family Wines are highly sought after across the globe. 16 months French oak Dark and deep with a hue of deep bright ruby red. Intense and complex bouquet of red cherry and blackberry intermixed with notes of minerals (graphite, wet river rocks), licorice, fresh blond tobacco, and a hint of fresh blackcurrant. Full-bodied, the palate is reminiscent of the nose, with a richly tannic yet round frame and with an outstanding finesse. Our unique estate lies on the western foothills just north of the town of St. Helena. Shallow loamy topsoil, rocky alluvial subsoil, and full sun exposure create ideal conditions for our Cabernet Sauvignon vines.
