Int'l Wine Review
Reviewed March 2023The 2021 Twelve Clones Pinot Noir from Morgan is made from 12 unique clones of Pinot and is aged for 9 months in 32% new French oak. Earthy and dusty on the nose, it brings notes of blue raspberry, black tea, powdered graphite, dried flower petals, and sweet spice. Gobs of blueberry fruit and bitter herb are on the finish, alongside the bountiful acidity and rounded sweet tannins. (JY)

Wine Enthusiast
Light in the glass, this clonal blends pops on the nose with crisp raspberry and cranberry as hints of crushed slate and red rose petal add complexity. The landing on the palate is clean and bright, showing joyously ripe berry flavors but also elegant floral tones deep into the finish. (MK)

Cool, pretty and elegant aromas consist of the essence of various red berries, especially cranberry and raspberry, together with subtle spice nuances. The vibrant and refined flavors possess a suave texture thanks to the relatively fine-grained tannins that shape the seductive, sneaky long and compact finish where a prominent bitter pit fruit character slowly emerges. This offers unusually good quality for the price and is very much recommended, particularly for those readers who prefer to give their pinots at least some bottle aging. *Outstanding*

The 2021 Pinot Noir Twelve Clones is a very pretty, understated wine. Silky, floral and nuanced, the 2021 is all charm. Succulent red berry fruit, cedar, spice and crushed flowers all grace this open-knit Pinot from Morgan. (AG)
