Community Tasting Note

Mrbuzz Likes this wine: 94 points
November 1, 2023 - My first Morgen Long...well second bottle in a week...VERY much likie! This guy is still partying as it was a little hissy upon opening...but some air and swirling calms it down nicely. Super crisp and nervy...bright with lemon lime squeeze...some mango, grapefruit....pretty flower blossom, dried honey florals...LOVE LOVE the crushed rock salinity...that dry extract...with a nice balanced cream, almond, and wax to it. More so in this bottle than the first right off the truck! Yes...very Chablisienne...Louis Michel comes to mind...but you don't get that chalky limestone and sea air funk here...this is very crystalline and pure...very tasty...VERY Oregon Chardonnay! Can't wait to try the others...

All of my wines are on lees for 18 months with minimal, or zero, stirring; so, relatively high dissolved CO2 at bottling - I do not degas or check levels of dissolved CO2. I recommend decanting nearly all of my wines for the first three years in bottle to allow for this to dissipate.
