Luc Morlet must surely have one of the broadest portfolios in California between the wines he makes under his own labels and for his consulting clients. There are a lot of beautiful wines in this range, although I have to admit, I tend to prefer the wines Morlet makes in Napa Valley over those from Sonoma. I have a slight preference for the 2011 Chardonnays over the 2010s, as I find the more recent vintage a touch more refined. In addition to these wines, I also tasted all of the 2011 Pinots, but found them in awkward, raw state that is not unusual for young wines from this cold and very late harvest.

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.
