Morgan 2000 Cotes du Crow’s Red (California)

Country: US / Cotes du Crow’s
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend California
Winery: Morgan / California

A Grenache-Syrah-Petite Sirah blend from a warmer part of the county. Cool nights yield good acids, but the wine isn’t fully ripened. You can taste green, stalky flavors alongside the red cherry ones. The mouthfeel is a bit rough. Still, it’s not without interest. —S.H.
