2019 Morgan Double L Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

14.0% alc., pH 3.54, TA 0.58, 507 cases, $65. Clones 667 and 777. Certified organic grapes. Native yeast primary fermentation with 7% whole cluster. Aged 10 months in French oak barrels, 36% new. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. The perfume bowled me over! Intoxicating scents of black cherry, blueberry and spice cabinet. An expressive attack of fresh black cherry fruit is annotated with anise and spice. The entry makes one sit up in their seat. Excellent cohesiveness, with a suave mouthfeel, a welcome touch of smoky oak, and a very long, cherry-fueled finish. Terrific! Score: 95. Reviewed November 14, 2021
