This is really as great a Californian wine as one can muster. It is rich without being decadent, redolent with sweet fruit without being heavy or glazed as so many wines are, complex without being overextracted, and sun-kissed without being alcoholic or pruney. With 20 varietals in this field blend, and in the flatlands below Monte Rosso and Moon Mountain, maybe calling this terroir-driven is a stretch. It is more history-driven, and a testament to the duo who have put the effort into preserving it: @Chris Cottrell and @Morgan Twain-Peterson — 8 years ago

Morgan Twain-Peterson does it once again, I'm loving this zin heavy bombshell. Exploding notes of red currants red cherry leather tobacco spice and peach yogurt. Awesome tannin balanced with slight acidity. The perfect match for anything grill worthy- or nothing at all — 10 years ago

The 8/24/2014 Napa earthquake did what it could to ruin the label but I can still read 14% alc. on the label.
A beautiful clean (read; no jam) expression of Syrah. Just enough funk on the nose to be both varietal correct and interesting and great balance on the palate.
Count in the (ridiculous low) price and you have one helluva solid QPR.
Kudos to Morgan and Chris!! — 11 years ago

My friends call this a "hand grenade". Fantastic Morgan! Had a funky start, but really morphed into a fantastic wine. Cherry forward. Blue and black fruit mid. Lovely finish — 8 years ago

Disclaimer: I am drinking these too young...

Intense Ruby color with a purple rim. Explosion of red and blue fruit on the nose. Medium body, very smooth and fruity. Slight tannins on the medium+ to long finish. As it opened in the glass, sweet spice flavors and aromas started to emerge. Very good wine and fun to drink. As usual, great work from Morgan and Chris! — 10 years ago

Tumbled down a wormhole on the west side of Sonoma Valley and ended up in a Portuguese bar where @Morgan Twain-Peterson was the barkeep and @Chris Cottrell was the bouncer. One day I'd like to make it back there.... — 10 years ago

This amazing 2009 Morgan from Gary's Vineyard is one of the absolute best California pinots I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. I managed to get 3 bottles over a 2 year period. The more it breathed, the more it dominated the room! — 9 years ago

Pours a pale green yellow color with lifted apricot, almond skin, wet stone, floral and lemon aromas. On the palate it's medium-bodied, and dry with ample fruit nicely balanced with bright lemony acidity, and
apricot, white peach, lemon, and lime flavors underscored with minerality, and a lingering lip-smacking finish.

From a vineyard planted in 1963, which has a little Sylvaner interplanted in it, which the owner Pat Wirz calls by the name indigenous to California “Franken Riesling.” The wine was fermented with native yeast in a neutral oak upright tank and aged for 6 months on lees prior to bottling
According to Morgan Twain-Peterson..."More Heiligenstein than Graacher Himmelriech, more Riquevillean than Sharzhofian...not sure what all that means, but it's wonderful! — 10 years ago

This is dark, brooding, and intense. Floral and cigar smoke are on the nose, with a dark blackberry, fig, and earthy metallic grip on the palate. This is a big one with great intensity and length. First Hudson T and S Syrah and it is delicious! Nice job Morgan and Chris!!! @Morgan Twain-Peterson — 10 years ago
