Morgan
Highland Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay
Santa Lucia Highlands, Central Coast, California, USA
Pale lemon color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits and nutty floral notes, 50% fruit from certified organic Double L estate, with the balance from McIntyre and Tondré vineyards. On the palate flavors of apple, pear, lemon citrus zest and melon, complex with mineral tones and soft and a bit creamy adding sweet spice. The wine was fresh and vibrant with crisp acidity, well balanced on a long finish ending with fruit and mineral character. Nice!

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]

A Monterey/ Santa Lucia Highlands standard. Always good to taste a wine that brings me back to my roots.

A great #Chardonnay and I'm impressed with this one from Santa Lucia Highlands. A nice touch at a board meeting.
