September 29, 2012 - 14.8% alcohol. Morgan calls this wine "Papa's All-Blacks." I think of this wine as "Collaboration." A collaboration of three of California's greatest historic vineyards - Bedrock, Monte Rosso and Sellwagen. A collaboration of field-blend, mixed-black grape varieties (I'm guessing Zin based accompanied by the usual suspects - Mourved, Petite, Carignane ...). A father and son collaboration between Joel and Morgan. Morgan doesn't seem to be content to make delicious wines, he trades in delicious wines with a "story"!
Deep purple in color. Expressive red and black fruit aromas. On the palate, black cherry, with blueberry overtures, livened by black pepper and chocolate. Long aftertaste. Extremely well mannered and balanced with great concentration and complexity.
Terrific, but I probably drank this prematurely, should be reaching its peak around 2014-16.3 people found this helpful 3,783 views
