<div style="background-color: #f7f7f7; padding: 15px 5px; border-bottom: 1px dashed #808080;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Tasting Notes:</span><br>The 2005 Double L Syrah distinctively shows the cool climate influence, with complex blackberry and blueberry fruit on the nose and palate, with hints of white and black pepper and chocolate. The tannic structure, along with the fruit and acidity show good balance and the wine’s refined, age-worthy style. <br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Winemaking Notes:</span><br>The grapes are completely de-stemmed. Fermentation, most of which is whole-berry, is in open top fermenters with manual punch down for optimum extraction and structure with soft tannins. The saignee technique was used to concentrate the Syrah flavors. After fermentation, the wine is transferred to a combination of new and older medium and medium plus toast Burgundy barrels for malo-lactic fermentation and 13 months of aging. The wine was racked twice, and bottled on December 14, 2006.
<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Vintage Notes:</span><br>The 2005 vintage was outstanding, with cool, even temperatures producing a high quality crop. The Syrah was harvested on Oct. 27 at an average of 25.0 brix.
<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Vineyard Information:</span><br>Morgan Winery’s Double L 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. The vineyard is densely planted with 6 x 5 spacing, (1452/per acre) with the rows aligned on a North-South 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 organic vineyard, the only such one in the appellation.
Double L has 1 acre of Syrah in production, with clone 383 planted on rootstock 101-14 and clone 470 on rootstock 420a.
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 the coolest in America during the growing season. We chose Syrah clone 470 for this wine.
