Morgan Winery, Santa Lucia Highlands (Monterey County, California) Pinot Noir 2021

May 16, 2023

By Rich Cook

  Morgan’s Twelve Clones Pinot Noir is always a solid value leader, and typically made to be ready to go right out of the gate.  In keeping with the emerging theme of 2021 on the Central Coast, this pulses with energy and tension.  Forward red fruit and bright oak toast aromas follow through on the palate, with a silky midpalate and a crisp finish with nice push.  Drink now, or hold for a few years to let a little elegance loose.
