2022 Double L Pinot Noir (Clone Pommard 5)
Conscientiously farmed since the original plantings in 1997, today Morgan’s Double L Estate Vineyard is the only certified organic vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands. Located at the northern end of the AVA, the vineyard’s north-south row orientation provides optimal wind and sun exposure.
Pommard 5 (P5) is a widely planted pinot noir clone in cool climates like the Santa Lucia Highlands. It ripens fairly late in the season, with high yields if not carefully managed. Handled properly, it makes wines of structure and depth.
The 2022 Double L Pinot Noir Pommard 5 is rich yet energetic. Aromas of black cherry and raspberry hard candy are supported on the palate with notes of blackberry, red fruit, and floral hints. This wine features a medium body and elegant tannins — an exquisite match for duck confit or prime rib.
