2019 Morlet "Passionnément" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
99
Jeb Dunnuck
Review Date: 03/2022The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Passionnement is another wine that flirts with perfection. A selection of the top barrels in the cellar, it has beautiful purity in its red and black fruits as well as notes of tobacco leaf, new leather, unsmoked tobacco, and sandalwood. Full-bodied, rich, concentrated, and powerful, it’s a stunning wine on every level that will benefit from just short-term bottle age and keep for 20-30 years.

Notes
Joe Czerwinski's note's on the producer for Wine Advocate: "Frenchman Luc Morlet and his Sacramento-born wife, Jodie, have become part of the Napa Valley firmament. Luc's winemaking resumé includes five years at Newton and five years at Peter Michael, where he has continued to consult since he and Jodie established Morlet Family Vineyards in 2006. Today, Cabernet Sauvignon accounts for approximately two-thirds of their production, coming from their own vineyards in Knights Valley, Oakville and Saint Helena. The Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs from Sonoma are based on per-acre lease arrangements, allowing Luc to manage the farming practices and yields in accordance with his own wishes." (3/2023)
