Once again in 2020, Morgan came up with an attractive red at a very attractive price. The blend is 58% Grenache, 35% Syrah, 4% Mourvèdre and 3% Tempranillo. Aging took place in French oak, mostly used barrels, for 10 months. It delivers plenty of fruit-forward black cherry fruit with background notes of black pepper and spice. It continues the rich black fruit theme with its mouth-coating flavors that show some concentration as the Syrah component asserts itself in the finish. Light, smooth tannins complete the package. Drink now and over the next 3 to 4 years.
