Good but didn’t gain anything with a bit of aging.

This amazing 2009 Morgan from Gary's Vineyard is one of the absolute best California pinots I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. I managed to get 3 bottles over a 2 year period. The more it breathed, the more it dominated the room!

Jun 17th, 2017I love the Santa Lucia highlands style. This one has well integrated oak with great acidity. The nose is what a ripe blueberry licorice candy would smell like. Little soy sauce notes. Newly cut wood core smells as well. The candy stays, but comes with hints of fresh ground coffee and herbal notes that linger on the finish.

Oct 11th, 2015Very oaky nose. Soft and promising, but then kinda doesn't go anywhere. Wouldn't stand up to food very well. But not bad on its own. Don't think I'd throw down 65 bones for this though.
