Morgan, Cotes du Crow's, Red Blend 2020 (Monterey County, CA)
Producer Notes: This Rhône-style blend has a rich ruby color, highlighted by purple edges. Notes of boysenberry, bramble, and tobacco jump out of the glass. The wine is full bodied with rich tannins, offering flavors of black fruits, damp earth, and chocolate covered cherry. Its weight and balance make it a perfect pairing for anything off the grill.
Blend: 58% Grenache, 35% Syrah, 4% Mourvèdre, 3% Tempranillo
Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points: This is a smashing deal every vintage, and this year's blend of 58% Grenache, 35% Syrah, 4% Mourvèdre and 3% Tempranillo doesn't disappoint. Fresh but savory aromas of roasted red fruit and baking spice drop into a tightly wound palate of snappy red currant and light pepper that rides a zippy acidity through the finish.
