It produces a range of single-vineyard wines from Napa Valley and Sonoma County, from the area's key grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah. The estate was founded by Jodie and Luc Morlet, whose family owns Pierre Morlet \u0026amp; Fils in Champagne, France. The estate consists of vineyards in Oakville, St. Helena, and Knights Valley, and has long-terrm contracts with vineyards in Fort Ross-Seaview, Russian River Valley, Bennett Valley, Dry Creek and Napa Valley. Each site is planted to the grape varieties that respond best to the individual terroir. Morlet's approach to winemaking is minimalist and Old World in style, using classical techniques from Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne. The grapes are picked by hand, then destemmed and double-sorted when they reach the St. Helena winery. Native yeasts carry out the fermentation process, and wines are aged in French oak barrels before release. Morlet Family Vineyard's wines are sold through mailing list and in high-profile restaurants around the world. Top-rated wines from the estate include the white Bordeaux-style blend La Proportion Dorée, the Bouquet Garni Syrah, the Coeur de Vallée Cabernet Sauvignon. There are also multiple expressions of Pinot Noir from the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-01-23T12:39:24-05:00","created_at":"2023-01-16T16:14:55-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","NK1601","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Morlet Family Vineyards","Region_California","Source_CanaWine0123","Type_Red Wine","varietal_cabernet sauvignon"],"price":157400,"price_min":157400,"price_max":157400,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42682707705994,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2009 | Morlet Family Vineyards | Cabernet Sauvignon Mon Chevalier","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":157400,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/23_6545b118-545a-4f71-9d27-c06ddcd3ada0.jpg?v=1673903747"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/23_6545b118-545a-4f71-9d27-c06ddcd3ada0.jpg?v=1673903747","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2009 | Morlet Family Vineyards | Cabernet Sauvignon Mon Chevalier at CaskCartel.com","id":23984753508490,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.417,"height":540,"width":225,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/23_6545b118-545a-4f71-9d27-c06ddcd3ada0.jpg?v=1673903747"},"aspect_ratio":0.417,"height":540,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/23_6545b118-545a-4f71-9d27-c06ddcd3ada0.jpg?v=1673903747","width":225}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2009 | Morlet Family Vineyards | Cabernet Sauvignon Mon Chevalier\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA huge, muscular wine, the 2009 is endowed with deep, resonant layers of dark red cherries, plums, cloves, and crushed rocks.
