• 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.

• 2021 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 2021 vintage, accounted for 61% 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 32% new French oak for nine months of aging. The 2021 Twelve Clones demonstrates the finesse typical of pinot noir from the Santa Lucia Highlands. Aromas of raspberry hard candy, bay laurel, and bergamot tea are complemented by flavors of red fruits, potpourri, and a hint of sweet and savory spices. Perfectly poised, this medium plus bodied wine is supported by elegant tannins. A wonderful accompaniment to roasted chicken and grilled salmon, as well as almost any duck, beef, or lamb preparation.
