The Twelve Clones bottling is a success story for Morgan — each vintage I’ve tasted has been well above average. The 2014 shows ripe black cherry, mild dried herbs, moderate oak toast and acidity to balance the rich feel and extend the well knit together finish. It will stand up to bold fish or poultry as well as roast beef.
