2014 Morlet Family Vineyards Passionnément Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville

Morlet’s “Rockstar” Bottles

Luc Morlet is a winemaker of impeccable credentials, a French-born master who has trained his formidable talents on California—and has a host of 100-point wines to show for it, having achieved perfection at both Peter Michael Winery, and his own Morlet Family Vineyards. 

Critic Jeb Dunnuck has summed it up very succinctly: Morlet makes “rockstar wines.” And because they are claimed by a rabid mailing list and restaurants like The French Laundry, Morlet Family wines are notoriously hard to come by, unless you get them straight from Luc himself. 

That’s why our first ever allocation of a Morlet Family wine—the 2014 Passionément Cabernet—is such a massive coup. Dunnuck crowned the Morlet Family Vineyards 2014 Passionément Cabernet with a lofty 98-point score, saying it “always shines for its seamless, elegant personality, yet it never lacks for density or richness.” Sourced from benchland vineyards in Oakville, the Passionément has a bold core of crushed blackberry and cassis, fantastic integration and volume on the palate, and beautiful polish. It shows exactly why Luc Morlet wines elicit the kind of excitement that they do. 

Make no mistake about it: This is a massive win for Wine Access, and for you. Here’s your shot at Luc Morlet’s Passionément. Enjoy.
