One of the finest wine countries for Pinot Noir, which can be a finicky grape. The 2012 vintage was of very high quality, a textbook growing season with focused aromas and flavors. It has a scent of black cherry, cola and anise. Look for flavors of cranberry and pomegranate, complemented by notes of dates and sweet spices, with lovely fruit/acid balance.
Small production, terrior-driven releases from Morgan’s Double L Vineyard are the winery’s flagship Pinot Noirs. It has close proximity to Monterey Bay’s cold, deep waters, providing ocean fog, fostering intense flavor with balancing acidity. This organically farmed vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands has been winning critical acclaim for four decades.
Harvest Ranch Market in Encinitas stocks Morgan Pinot Noir Twelve Clones 2012 for $33.
