The deep, cold waters of one of the world’s largest submarine canyons act\u003cbr\u003eas the AVA’s natural air conditioning, generating strong afternoon breezes and\u003cbr\u003eevening fog. Abundant sunshine and cool evenings extend the growing season,\u003cbr\u003eresulting in fruit of superior flavor and balance.\u003cbr\u003eVINTAGE\u003cbr\u003ePlentiful rainfall in the winter and spring months contributed to good growth\u003cbr\u003econditions and bud break early in the 2020 season. Cold and windy conditions\u003cbr\u003eduring bloom in late May moderately reduced crop sizes. Summer saw typical\u003cbr\u003eweather with warmer weeks as harvest approached. Vine and cluster health\u003cbr\u003ewere excellent, with high-quality, clean fruit.\u003cbr\u003eWINE\u003cbr\u003eCotes du Crow’s is a unique blend of the two noble, predominant red varietals\u003cbr\u003eof France’s southern Rhône Valley: grenache and syrah. Small amounts of\u003cbr\u003emourvèdre and tempranillo are included, whose earthy, meaty spice and dark\u003cbr\u003efruit are beautiful complements to the grenache and syrah.\u003cbr\u003eFermented in open top tanks with manual punch-downs, enabling good\u003cbr\u003eextraction and structure development with pleasant tannins. After fermentation,\u003cbr\u003ethe wine was transferred to French oak barrels, giving subtle spice and vanilla\u003cbr\u003echaracters without overpowering the elegant fruit profile.\u003cbr\u003eThis Rhône-style blend has a rich ruby color, highlighted by purple edges.\u003cbr\u003eNotes of boysenberry, bramble, and tobacco jump out of the glass. The wine\u003cbr\u003eis full bodied with rich tannins, offering flavors of black fruits, damp earth, and\u003cbr\u003echocolate covered cherry. Its weight and balance make it a perfect pairing for\u003cbr\u003eanything off the grill.\u003cbr\u003eA P P E L L AT I O N : Monterey\u003cbr\u003eV I N E YA R D : Griva, Cedar Lane, Ventana, Riverbank, Mission, Zabala\u003cbr\u003eB L E N D : 58% Grenache, 35% Syrah, 4% Mourvèdre, 3% Tempranillo\u003cbr\u003eS O I L : Sandy \u0026amp; Shaly Loam\u003cbr\u003eC L I M AT E : Cool to Warm, Region II to III (UCD)\u003cbr\u003eC O O P E R AG E : 10 months in 100% French Oak, 12% New\u003cbr\u003eA LC O H O L : 14.3%\u003cbr\u003eAC I D I T Y: 5.9 g\/l\u003cbr\u003ep H : 3.55\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morgan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975806324960,"sku":"106273","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/t39259483a_1.jpg?v=1663887967","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/morgan-cotes-du-crows-monterey-2017-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
