Thursday night and having a taste for a Chardonnay. I have chosen the 2012 Morgan Highland Chardonnay from the Santa Lucia Highlands from the Double L Vineyard which has been certified organic since 2002.
On the nose I am getting peach, passionfruit, guava, ripe lemon, honeysuckle and minerality.
On the palate there is tasty citrus fruit, lemon, peach, vanilla, creme brulee, dill, a light brush of oak and minerality.
This wine is medium bodied with a smooth mouth feel, medium + acidity and a medium to long clean crisp finish. The weekend is upon us and we are still searching for spring. Have a safe weekend and have fun. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

A quite rich & full Chardonnay with clear oak & malolatic influence leading to aromas of ripe yellow apple, lemon curd along with notes of pie crust & toffee. The palate is brings forth a welcome punch of acidity along with flavors of lemon curd which evolve into roasted hazelnut & toffee on the finish. A delicious pairing with salmon en papillote! ($27) [3/14/22]

Lemon, oak, and butter, but all nicely balanced. Medium body, medium plus acid, medium alcohol, and medium plus finish. I’ve been a longtime fan of Morgan chards, and this one doesn’t disappoint given the price point.

Good, bright, very acidic Chardonnay. I prefer cold.
