2008 Morgan Twelve Clones Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir
SKU #500603
This vintage of Morgan Twelve Clones Pinot Noir demonstrates the power and finesse of Pinot Noir from the Santa Lucia Highlands. It displays aromas of black cherries, cola, spicy earth tones and vanilla. Flavors of red cherries and berries are complemented by notes of black tea, chocolate espresso, smokey oak, and spice. Perfectly poised fruit / acid balance make this incredibly food-versatile. It is a wonderful accompaniment to roast chicken and grilled salmon, as well as almost any duck, beef, or lamb preparation...

Morgan Twelve Clones Pinot Noir is drawn from the finest vineyards of the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation, including Morgan’s own organically farmed “Double L” estate. In the 2008 vintage the Double L accounted for 42% of the final blend. Morgan “Twelve Clones” designation denotes the original diverse Pinot plantings at the Double L. Vines here capture the warm morning sunshine from their elevated east facing terraces overlooking the Salinas River Valley. Strong afternoon winds and evening fog from nearby Monterey Bay create a cool Region I type climate. The resulting long growing season allows for gentle ripening, creating intense flavors with balanced acidity.
