The Double L has been among Morgan’s top single-vineyard Pinots for a number of years and it’s easy to see why. It always performs. The 2011 vintage has many California vintners wringing their hands, but Morgan’s Double L from this vintage is a superb Pinot that offers ripe notes of cherry and strawberry, with firm tannins and a savory, earthy backnote that is pleasing to this palate.
