November 5, 2021 - Tasted side-by-side with 2007 Bedrock Lorenzo's Heirloom in our monthly wine tasting group. Pop n' pour per Chris Cottrell's recommendations.
Blackberry, black cherry, and hints of citrus and coffee on the nose. The palate bursts with high-toned black fruits and a touch of orange peel, but with some time in the glass there are red fruited notes like raspberry and cherry liqueur as well. This wine is more polished on the nose and palate than Lorenzo's, with silky tannins that provide great structure in addition to the wine's fresh acidity.
Like the Lorenzo's, this wine is still a puppy and I'm amazed by how primary the fruit still is. I think in another 5 years this wine will be at its apogee as the tannins recede. Will see how it shows on night 2.1 person found this helpful Comment -

April 12, 2019 - Mmmm. This is awesome. In an ideal place right now, with the acidity playing perfectly with the fruit. High toned citrus with purple fruits. Drinking so well, but theres still some tannin left on the finish hinting at 5+ years more of development. Later in the night this opened up even further with an awesome and very distinct note of menthol. Alex said fresh pack of Newports, which being a Newport smoker back in high school (#BadChoices), I completely agreed with. A very close 2nd place for WOTN to the 11 Puccini Zin, and an absolutle home run considering this was Morgan's first vintage. 1 left that I'll hold for some time.

Red fruits (raspberry/strawberry), anise, menthol, root vegetables. Smooth as silk, beautifully integrated and in the zone - just a lovely bottle of wine. GOTTA LOVE THE CAPSULE! Haha.1 person found this helpful Comment -
