Have to admit my mind was blown by what I formerly considered just a “party” wine. Nice dry fruit, great structure, and soft tannins. Excellent with Mother’s Day chicken salad sandwiches on croissants!

Clear, pale ruby in color. On the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of blackberries, raspberries, violets, and smoke. On the palate, it's dry with high acidity, medium tannins, medium alcohol, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of cherry, pomegranate, asphalt, and earth with a long finish. This wine is intense, a little out of balance (needs to breathe or age), and complex. Overall, I would rate this wine as very good.

Ahhh. James. It is a curse as much as it is a blessing. I like it, it aged gracefully well. Cheers.

High acid. Minimal fruit. A bit muted on the palate unfortunately as I had higher expectations for this one. Acceptable nonetheless.

I expected more out of this given it's 93-pt pro rating, but it wasn't as interesting as some other Morgons I've had. Nice red fruit and earth aromas but not the complexity I hoped for, even in a Gamay.

Deep red cranberry, mushroom, soily and earthy minerality that is tart and acidic with bitter note at end
