2018 Morgan Tondre Grapefield Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

13.9% alc., 126 cases, $65. Clones 777 and 115.100% de-stemmed, aged 11 months in 40% new French oak barrels. · Enthralling nose with vibrant aromas of cherry, baking spices and sandalwood. Lighter weighted in this vintage, with a core of red cherry and red berry fruits framed by caramel oak. Very charming in style with soft tannins and good length on the finish. The light fruit is somewhat superseded by oak. Score: 91. Reviewed October 4, 2020
