• 2021 Double L Pinot Noir

  Santa Lucia Highlands

  Expand
  Conscientiously farmed since the original plantings in 1997, today Morgan’s Double L Estate Vineyard is the only certified organic vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands. Located at the northern end of the AVA, the vineyard’s north-south row orientation provides optimal wind and sun exposure. The grapes were hand picked and sorted in the vineyard, then sorted a second time at the winery. Native and cultured yeasts began fermentation in open top tanks. After fermentation, the wine was transferred into 40% new French oak for 10 months of aging. The 2021 Double L Pinot Noir is rich yet energetic. Aromas of wild cherry, Christmas spice, and rose petal are supported on the palate by black plum, savory spices, and forest floor. This wine features a medium body with elegant tannins — an exquisite match for duck confit or prime rib.

• 2023 Twelve Clones Pinot Noir

  Santa Lucia Highlands

  Expand
  The Twelve Clones Pinot Noir is drawn from the finest vineyards of the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation, including Morgan’s organic Double L estate which, in the 2023 vintage, accounted for 65% of the final blend. The grapes were hand sorted in the vineyard and again at the winery before being completely destemmed. Whole berry fermentation started using native and cultured yeasts in small, open top tanks. After fermentation, the wine was transferred to 38% new French oak for nine months of aging. The 2023 Twelve Clones has the power, balance, and finesse typical of SLH pinot noir. Notes of cherry cola, dried herbs, and baking spices are joined by mild tannins and good acidity. Wonderfully balanced with a long finish, it aims to please any pinot noir lover. Food accompaniments include lamb chops and BBQ chicken.

• 2022 Double L Chardonnay

  Santa Lucia Highlands

  Expand
  Conscientiously farmed since the original plantings in 1997, today Morgan’s Double L Estate Vineyard is the only certified organic vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands. Located at the northern end of the AVA, the vineyard’s north-south row orientation provides optimal wind and sun exposure. The grapes were picked when the flavor and acid balance was optimal, then hand-sorted and gently pressed to yield the highest quality juice. The juice was fermented in 33% new French oak. Full malolactic and lees stirring were conducted to obtain a medium plus body, balanced by fresh acidity. Aromas of citrus, toffee, and baking spices are followed on the palate by flavors of tangerine, lemon, and hints of caramel. The Double L Chardonnay will pair wonderfully with ricotta-stuffed squash blossoms or scallops with garlic butter.
