<div style="background-color: #f7f7f7; padding: 15px 5px; border-bottom: 1px dashed #808080;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Tasting Notes:</span><br>Medium-rich on the palate with a nicely integrated acidity. Mineral, tropical fruit, sweet spice, toast, orange blossoms and pineapple on the nose. The palate shows additional notes of lemongrass, flint, creaminess, grapefruit, butterscotch,
apricot.<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Winemaking Notes:</span><br>After whole cluster pressing, the wine is all barrel fermented in 30% new Burgundy barrels using Montrachet yeasts. It is aged ten months on the lees with weekly stirrings through the 6-week long malo-lactic fermentation, with bottling in August of 2007. Sixty percent of the wine underwent M-L fermentation.
Primary contributors are Dijon clones 76, 95, 96, and a bit of Martini clone 4.<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Vintage Notes:</span><br>The 2006 vintage started late and ran about a month later than normal, due to a cold, wet spring that delayed the fruit set. The summer weather was typical for the region. The Chardonnay harvest ran from 10/6 to 11/10, with average croploads,intensely flavored fruit with good acidity.<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Vineyard Information:</span><br>The Vineyard is located in the northern end of the Santa Lucia Highlands sub-appellation of Monterey, which runs down the northeast facing slopes of the coastal Santa Lucia range, overlooking the Salinas Valley, beginning about 12 miles south of the Monterey Bay. It is named “Double Luck” for Dan and Donna
Lee’s twin daughters. The vineyard was initially planted in 1997 & 1998 with 6 x 5 spacing, resulting in 1452 plants per acre. The rows are aligned on a N-S axis for optimum sun exposure and interception of cool breezes from the Monterey Bay. The strong
Salinas Valley winds concentrate flavors by thickening grape skins and slowing down photosynthesis. Grapes typically get 4-5 weeks longer hang time than most California regions.
Organically grown fruit produces the clearest expression of terroir. Monterey County Certified Organic, accredited by the USDA, certifies Double L Vineyard as an organically farmed vineyard, the only such one in the appellation. The vineyard has 18 acres of Chardonnay planted with six different clonal
selections on five different rootstocks. Soils are sandy loam, deep and well drained, with decomposed granite and traces
of limestone. Rainfall averages 15 inches per year. This area’s average summertime high of 75 degrees is one of the coolest wine grape growing regions in America during the growing season. Yields are held to under 5 lbs. per vine for maximum flavor concentration.<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Technical Notes: </span><br><table style= border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td>Appellation:</td><td><a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/Santa-Lucia Highlands.html" target=_new>Santa Lucia Highlands</a></td></tr><tr><td>Vineyard:</td><td>Double L Vineyard </td></tr><tr><td>Varietal:</td><td>Chardonnay %</td></tr></tbody></table></div><br><a href="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/?category=88" style="text-decoration: none; color: #a60000; font-weight: bold;" target=_top> Return to Morgan Winery wine list</a></P>
