2019 Morgan Double L Vineyard Clone LT Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., pH 3.40, TA 0.62, 105 cases, $65. Clone LT refers to one of the most celebrated Pinot Noir vineyards in Burgundy. A small block of this suitcase clone was grafted at the top of Double L Vineyard. Organic grapes. 100% de-stemmed. Aged 10 months in French oak barrels, 35% new. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Stellar aromas of black cherry, purple grape and dried herbs. A saturating impact of black cherry and blackberry fruits greet the palate and persist through a very long finish. Excellent harmony with juicy acidity and balanced tannins. The wine seems to glide on the mid-palate. Very satisfying and forward drinking. Score: 93. Reviewed October 10, 2021
