Morgado Proprietary Red Sugarloaf Mountain 2016 - First Bottle

Reviews

95 Jeb Dunnuck -
The 2016 Sugarloaf Mountain Red Wine checks in as a blend of 65% Cabernet Franc and 35% Merlot that was brought up in new French oak. 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.
93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
A blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc aged 22 months in 100% new French oak, the 2016 Sugarloaf Mountain Proprietary Red is deep garnet-purple colored with warm plums, spice cake, blackberry pie and potpourri plus notes of cigar box, dusty soil and menthol. The palate is full-bodied, rich, velvety and fresh with tons of spicy black fruit and a good long finish. 250 cases produced.

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!

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!

About the Producer

Kimberly Hatcher, a San Francisco firefighter by day and winemaker by night, is a force to be reckoned with. She got into wine working as an assistant to Russell Bevan and got the bug. Alluringly luscious and sexy, this wine beckons all who taste of it to return time and time again. Morgado makes rich wines with supple textures that are absolute crowd pleasers. Making Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Bordeaux varietals, crafted by hand and made from the heart, Morgado is a force of nature.
