Winemaker Notes

Morgan’s Sauvignon Blanc is a proprietary blend of classic Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Musqué, and Semillon. The classic Sauvignon Blanc clone offers typical sweet grass flavors, while Sauvignon Musqué is prized for its aromatic intensity and citrus and tropical fruit flavors. Semillon, another noble Bordeaux varietal, adds richness and depth.

The 2016 Sauvignon Blanc features aromas of lemon verbena, honeydew, and passionfruit. Flavors of lemon and lime are lively and refreshing. The small touch of oak accents the bright acidity by adding elegant texture. An incredibly food-versatile wine, it’s a natural match for shellfish, seafood, and lighter summer fare.

Blend: 80% Sauvignon Blanc Musqué, 14% Sauvignon Blanc, 6% Sémillon

    A crisp sauvignon blanc with sliced lime and honeydew. Medium body, bright acidity and a clean finish. Drink now.

Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.

Central Coast, California

A geographic and climatic paradise for grape vines, Monterey is a part of the greater Central Coast AVA and contains within it five smaller sub-appellations, including Arroyo Seco, San Lucas, San Bernabe, Hames Valley and the famous Santa Lucia Highlands. The climate is relatively warm but tempered by cool, coastal winds, allowing the regions in Monterey County an exceptionally long growing season. Bud break often happens two weeks sooner and harvest tends to be two weeks later compared to other surrounding regions.

Monterey’s coastal side, where the cooling ocean fog allows grapes to develop a perfect sugar-acid balance, excels in the production of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling. Warmer, inland subzones are home to fleshy, concentrated and full-bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Zinfandel.

Chardonnay, covering about 40% of vineyard acreage, is the most widely planted grape in all of Monterey County.
