Quintessential California Chardonnay — 6 days ago
Still on the way to be matured. Powerful Gamey from Morgan. Red fruits. 2012 @, Fruit, 231217 — 5 months ago
Dark, moderately rich, brambly blackberry fruit mostly, very fresh and lively on palate, avoids the jammy, overripe notes that mar some Zins, seems quite youthful and capable of further development, my first Zin from Morgan T-P, very impressed!! (Drank MANY of his father’s Zins, dating back to the 1976 Vogelsong, his first!!) — 7 months ago
The 2020 Cotes du Crow’s is a Grenache/Syrah-based blend with touches of Mourvèdre and Tempranillo that add complexity. Red cherry, tobacco and dried herb hints open nicely. This bright, floral, mid-weight red offers plenty of charm. Drink it over the next handful of years. $22.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2024) — 4 months ago
Vanilla and light floral on the nose, vibrant cherry palate that packs a nice punch on acidity without going overboard, cherry follows through to end with some very light woodiness. — 6 months ago

Decant for sediment and pour(some fine/cloudy sediment). A still dark murky garnet with bricking. On the nose: dark currants, stewed plums, boiled meat, herbaceous, pencil lead, eucalyptus, and mocha. Taste: velvety, smooth wine with some dried cherry, earth, graphite, smoked meat, and a dry mocha/cedar/dried herb medium finish. On the downside, but still drinkable at 20 years. — 2 days ago
