Luc and Jodie Morlet's 2010s are off the charts. The 2010s have huge structure, but the fruit is so ripe and voluptuous in these wines that the perception of tannin is often imperceptible. The 2009s, on the other hand, are made from grapes that weren't as physiologically ripe, so the tannins remain firm and in need of time in bottle to soften. As good as the Morlet range is, the most exciting wine appears to be the Morlet Estate, from a vineyard in St. Helena the Morlets purchased a few years ago.

Luc Morlet describes the 2010 pinot noirs as more his style than the '09s, which he described as a bit flamboyant, and sometimes over the top. "The 2010s are more like Burgundies," he said, adding that he's not after "simple estery fruits." In fact, his wines can be remarkably glyceral in texture but with very low levels of residual sugar, and they tend to show more soil and mineral character than easy primary fruits. Morlet is a rare winemaker who displays great talent for Bordeaux and Burgundy varieties, whites as well as reds, but then he had time to hone his style of winemaking during his stint at Peter Michael, where he still consults.

I was quite frankly amazed by the range of wines I tasted with Luc Morlet. The wines span everything from single-variety Chardonnays, Pinots and Syrahs to Bordeaux-inspired blends. La Proportion Doree is a Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc blend with a dash of Muscadelle. Morlet's Billet Doux is a late-harvest version of that wine, but with fruit just from Alexander Valley. Passionnement is Cabernet Sauvignon from vineyards in Oakville, while Coeur de Vallee is Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, also from Oakville. Mon Chevalier is a Bordeaux-style blend made from vineyards in Knights Valley. Morlet Estate is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from St. Helena, and is the newest wine in the lineup.
