Morgado Proprietary Red Sugarloaf Mountain 2016
Morgado is made by Kimberly Hatcher, a San Francisco firefighter who is Russell Bevan's protege, and now she makes a small amount of truly hedonistic ambrosia in her spare time. In a stellar vintage like 2016, this is going to KNOCK you out!
JD95: “This blockbuster-styled effort doesn't pull any punches on its decadent black fruits, chocolate, spicy oak, and crushed violets. This beauty has some serious depth and density, terrific purity, and a great finish.”
Fruit for this killer red is sourced from Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard, which of course is the vineyard which has grown several 100-point wines. We think this is an absolute STEAL, and we are proud to be one of the few to even have access to it!
