Dan and Donna Lee founded Morgan Winery in 1982, with a goal of creating the finest wines possible by obtaining the highest quality fruit. Chardonnay was the first wine, with a current lineup including Chardonnay, Chardonnay Reserve, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Pinot Noir Reserve, Syrah, and Zinfandel. With the exception of Zinfandel, and a portion of the Sauvignon Blanc, which comes from Sonoma County, all fruit is sourced from Monterey and its sub appellations. Style, as expressed by the specific variety in its specific vineyard, is the winemaking goal at Morgan Winery. You won't find heavy handed winemaking techniques in Morgan wines. You will find a varietally true core of pure, ripe fruit with balancing acidity, subtle shadings from French oak barrel contact, and precise expressions of the specific variety and terroir by a talented and dedicated winemaking team. The Santa Lucia Highlands appellation of Monterey, from which we source most of our Chardonnay and Pinot Noir fruit, is one of the finest in California for Burgundian varietals. The combination of cool temperatures, significant winds, and low rainfall stress the vines to the point where the typical growing season is 3 weeks longer than most California regions. The result is more mature and intense flavors, typically apple and pear in Chardonnay, black cherry in Pinot Noir. These fully developed flavors are the core experience of our wines. What you won't find in Morgan wines are exaggerated fruitiness, oakiness, or other unnecessary winemaking influence. LOCATION TELEPHONE WEBSITE
