The Story

The Kayli Morgan Vineyard is located just north of Saint Helena, California at the base of Howell Mountain. The soils are a chocolaty clay; holding moisture to keep the vines cool. As summer progresses, the ground fo...

Written Notes

This wine comes from the Kayli Morgan Vineyard in the northwest section of Napa Valley. As all three wines from Hundred Acre Vineyard (the third one, not tasted this time, is the Ark Vineyard), it’s matured in brand new French oak barrels. It’s a lovely wine, highly concentrated and loaded with dark fruit, with some viscosity, a warm but not unbalanced sensation of the alcohol, and the tannins are huge and firm, but so well integrated in the body of the wines, they almost feels silky. Sweetness is a subjective part of the flavors here, but still the long lingering aftertaste is dry, which adds complexity to the wine. At this young age, oak is also present, but in a pleasant way with just some vanilla notes and a slight bitterness in the end of the taste. When tasted, it needed at least 20 minutes in the glass to open up, but I would recommend at least one hour in a decanter before serving it at approximately 18 degrees.
