From Monterey, this was aged in 25% new wood, and was my favorite wine of the night. It may be the best Italian varietal wine from California I have ever tried. | | | | | | | VIGNA UVA VINO JANUARY 5, 2009 Morgan Cotes du Crow Monterey California 2006 This red wine, done in the southern Rhone style but in a California terroir, is a blend of 55% Syrah and 45% Grenache. Lots of ripe strawberry aromas with hints of field herbs like violets and lilacs, and spicy flavors of white pepper woven between layers of blueberry and rhubarb pie. | |
