97, 96, 95 POINTS! Retail $250. Last Bottle…UNDER $90! Morlet Family Vineyards is officially, gloriously, FINALLY on the Last Bottle board — and it is every single bit as spectacular as you'd expect!!!

MORLET FAMILY VINEYARDS IS ON THE BOARD!!! We've been working toward this moment for a very long time, and the day has finally, gloriously, heart-thumpingly ARRIVED — and we are leading with nothing less than 97 POINTS from Jeb Dunnuck, 96 from Vinous, and 95 from James Suckling on the Mon Chevalier Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 from one of the most celebrated, collected, and flat-out coveted wineries in all of California. Retailing at $250, with the best available price anywhere online at $160 — you are getting this masterpiece for an utterly RIDONKULOUS under $90 a bottle!!! That is over 64% off — and a full $71 less than you'll pay anywhere else. That is, by any reasonable metric, INSANE. 

Knights Valley is Sonoma County's best-kept secret — a warm, Napa-adjacent appellation tucked up against the Mayacamas range, where thin volcanic soils and dramatic elevation force the vine to work hard and produce small, intensely concentrated berries. Luc Morlet hand-selected this hillside site for exactly those qualities, and Mon Chevalier — translated simply as 'My Knight' — is his tribute to the land, and the careful blending tradition his family has practiced for five generations. 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, and the remainder Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot: a classically structured, transparently noble blend that Jeb Dunnuck describes as delivering “incredible elegance, and a building sense of minerality.” I mean…RIGHT?! Eleven years in bottle has done nothing but deepen the legend of this wine — it is now firmly in its prime drinking window, yet has every structural component to evolve magnificently for the next decade plus without hesitation.

I’m going to break a promise I made to my beloved cellar master back in 2012. I’m going to do math in public! Two bottles of Morlet Mon Chevalier 2014, shipped free, for under $180. That’s a full $70+ LESS than the winery price AND you essentially get a whole ‘nother bottle… for FREE! I mean…say less, right? And the wine itself? Gorgeous. I’m fully with Jeb on the camphor and graphite, but also lilacs, and cinnamon, with red currants, and crushed raspberries, spiced mulberries, bachelor button flowers, inky kirsch, and that signature terracotta, mineral-driven earthiness that proves Knights Valley can throw down with the best of ‘em. It’s silky, precise, and hauntingly elegant — Mon Chevalier whispers with more complexity, and refinement, and sheer BEAUTY than any UNDER $100 bottle I’ve tried in YEARS!  

Morlet is one of those producers that virtually never surfaces at a price like this. A 100-point winemaker, building his fifth-generation legacy from scratch on some of California's most coveted hillside sites — this is the kind of winery that collectors fight over at auction, that sommeliers whisper about, and that your Last Bottle buyers have been dreaming about for DECADES. Today is THAT DAY. Quantity is EXTREMELY limited — Morlet's production is intentionally small, the library vintage supply is finite, and the second word gets out, this disappears lickety-split. Buy as much as you possibly can justify. Then justify a little more.

While it lasts!!!

"The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Mon Chevalier comes from a hillside in Knights Valley and is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. It offers sensational notes of crème de cassis, graphite, camphor, and loamy earth characteristics, full body, incredible elegance and purity, and a building sense of minerality on the finish. It’s both powerful and elegant, and already impossible to resist." -Jeb Dunnuck
96 POINTS
”The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Mon Chevalier is a fascinating wine that is still coming together. Firm, sinewy tannins typical of the year give the 2014 its energy, shape and drive. Bright red-toned fruit, crushed rocks, mint, white pepper and licorice are all beautifully delineated. The 2014 is a touch slender, as most wines are in this vintage, but it's nicely focused.” -Vinous
95 POINTS
”Fantastic complexity. Blueberry, black currant and violets on the nose. Licorice too. Full body, rich and dense yet always shows tension and length. Layered. A baby now but shows brilliance. Needs four to five years to come together. Tannic and structured.” -James Suckling
