  Subdued cranberry, crushed rose petal, lavender and sweet sage notes show on the nose of this clonal mash-up. Tightly wound cranberry and red plum skin flavors show on the palate, brushed with anise and a hint of white pepper. This will probably be much more complex in the years…

  Light raspberry, cranberry, pomegranate and strawberry fruit tones greet the nose on this bottling. The aromas then offer a brick-like minerality bolstered by chiseled slate and wet river stones. Flavors are also rocky and rusty, with lots of crushed gravel and turned earth givi…

  An amazingly vivid nose of cherry, eucalyptus and morning dew on wild fennel promises a stunning wine in this clonal combo from Morgan. The flavors aren't quite so mind-blowing, though, as basic fruit-punch elements meet with touches of peppercorn and nutmeg.

  Shows the Morgan signature of full-bodied weight, concentrated raspberry and cherry fruit, brisk acidity, notable tannins and dryness that make their Pinots Noirs so enjoyable. Very nice to drink now and over the next 3–4 years.

  The first of Morgan's 2010 Pinots to be released, it shows promise for the winery's single-vineyard bottlings. Dry and firm in acidity and tannins, it's a big, strong wine, packed with cherry pie flavor.

  A little off in texture, with a grainy mouthfeel that's part tart acids and part edgy tannins. However, it's lusty in forward cherry and raspberry fruit flavors, and will surely satisfy many Pinotphiles.
