Their G-17 Syrah opens with aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and black plum layered with notes of cracked pepper, violet, and smoked meat. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet balanced, offering concentrated dark fruit with savory undertones. Firm but polished tannins provide structure. Hints of olive, spice, and graphite add complexity. The finish is long, bold, and peppery with lingering dark fruit.

The Estate

Morgan Winery was founded in 1982 and is known for producing cool-climate Rhône and Burgundian varieties from Monterey County. The estate Double L Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands benefits from strong coastal winds and fog that preserve acidity and enhance flavor concentration. The “G-17” Syrah highlights a specific vineyard block known for producing structured, intensely aromatic fruit.

Wine Making

Syrah grapes are sourced from the G-17 block within the estate Double L Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands. The cool maritime climate promotes slow ripening and complex flavor development. Fermentation occurs with controlled extraction to balance richness and structure. The wine is aged in French oak barrels to enhance depth while maintaining varietal character.

Food Suggestions

This Syrah pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, braised beef, and barbecue dishes. Its savory spice notes also complement roasted game and hearty Mediterranean cuisine. A strong choice for rich meat dishes and bold flavors.
