But, that Rose!!!! The first time we visited, the tasting room was sold out! There was no way I would leave this time unattended. The tasting room is pleasant, and the attendants pour ample tastings. I enjoy how you can "pick your own adventure" in terms of choosing what white, or reds to try. If you are in Carmel, definitely stop by! Morgan wines showcase just the clandestine beauty and viticulture magic of the central coast Terroir! read more

You can't go wrong here!! I am a crimson member and will be forever! There wine is amazing

Great tasting room - we come here each time we're in Carmel to do a tasting. But end up just buying our Morgan wine from Safeway at a deep discount. Safeway doesn't offer all of their wines - however. So keep that in mind. While you're tasting, if there's one in particular you're in love with, ask if you can find it at a Safeway or other distributer - some offerings you'll need to pick up at location. Otherwise, if you're going for a widely distributed option (e.g., some of their pinot noirs and chardonnays), pick up at Safeway to save some $$. read more

I'm a new member to Morgan. It should be worth it since their Twelve Clones Pinot and Metallico Chard are two of my fav wines. I like the tasting room location - conveniently at the Crossroads. Friendly ladies and fun wine theme gifts. read more

Deborah was a delight! Very knowledgeable about the wines and a great resource for local information. Great way to spend the afternoon.

Overall, I was very pleased with this winery. A solid lineup of wines including wonderful Chardonnay, amazing Syrah, & great Pinot Noir. They offer an estate line and a more affordable general line - all of which I found enjoyable with the Syrahs being my favorites. The tasting room itself is nestled within a mall. The decor is new & modern with some interesting details (complete bark from a cork tree). The service was friendly and enthusiastic. I'll be back! read more

Tondre Pinot by a fire listening to Bocelli some years ago still resonates. If you're a Pinot fan, Monterey vintners produce some of the best in America. We've been members for over 3 years and always pick up our wines to enjoy the Monterey coast, Carmel and Carmel Valley. Monterey is a great alternative to traffic to Napa and Sonoma and as an added bonus, you get the California coastline. After Taste of Morgan go to Mission Valley Ranch close by and perhaps Clint (as in Eastwood) will be in to tinkle the piano ivories at the piano bar: He owns the place. read more

Drinking "Twelve Clones" Pinot Noir! Delicious. Thank you Aaron for the pours! We are on a wine road trip and visiting a friend here in Pebble Beach. This is a great winery to visit. The Double L Riesling is fabulous also! read more

Great service and good wines, but can get very crowded very fast. If you're nearby and the place is empty, definitely stop in. If you see more than a couple of other people, though, skip it. read more

The Highland Chardonnay may one day become my every day Chard. That is if either the price comes down, or I make more money. At $29/ bottle, it's a little steep for a daily drinker. I concur with the reviews complimenting the staff. I had similar experiences with Deb. I only wish they didn't try to charge me $15 for a wine key. read more

Odd place (in a strip mall) to put your testing room. But when the wines are as good as Morgan's who cares! The Twelve Clones are a bargain and LL is amazing. read more

We visited on Sat 07/30 and was helped by a young man. He did his job but wasn't as friendly as he could have been. Wine was ok. A lot of bottles were sold out. We bought a bottle and he refused to knock off one of the tasting fees. All is all, not a great experience. So many wineries out there with such great service. read more

Just became a member, really impressed with the whites, long time fan of the pinot.

Morgan wines are some of the best in Monterey county. I have always loved their 12 Clones Pinot, but their Chardonnay's are amazing too. Recent tasting room favorites include: Highland Chardonnay, Gary's Pinot Noir, and Lee Family label Grenache. This winery has something for everyone, from unoaked chard's to powerful Syrah's. The woman poring was so warm, and genuinely knew all about the wines she represents. We are joining this club for sure, stop by to taste, you will love the tasting room vibe along with their great products. Cheers! read more

Morgan makes 3 chardonnays, as the grapes do very well in Monterey county. Anyway, I have been in several times, and have brought in people from out of state. Morgan always impresses people. They have been attentive, (never been in there with a crowd), helpful and gave me a lot of information about chardonnays. The Rosella's chardonnay is pricey, but very, very good. Smooth. I was going to buy some bottles for a wedding, but they were sold out. That says it all. Morgan should be on every wine affectionatos winery tour of Monterey County! read more

I live and work in the industry in south Monterey county wine country for the summer, more specifically the Arroyo Seco and SLH AVAs. Some of the Chards and Pinots coming out of the SLH region are some of the best California style wines around (esp. Pinot) with their distinct aromatics and terroir driven palates. I've had previous experience with Morgan's wines at the local wine shop where I recently went to school, from their entry level offerings up through their single vineyard designated bottles. My previous experience is that their wine was solid and approachable. At the Carmel tasting room they were pouring through most of their current vintages. The tasting room is nice and offers up a relaxed setting. After going through most of their lineup I was most impressed with their Gary's vineyard Pinot Noir(they were not pouring their Rosella's Pinot Noir on that day to compare side by side) and their Cotes-du-Crow's Syrah/Grenache blend. The 2010 Gary's Vineyard had that lush ripe red fruit SLH terroir driven expression mixed with those distinct rose petal perfumey floral aromatics, followed by spice box notes with earthy undertones on the palate, low acidity, nice oak integration, medium to full bodied with soft but firm tannins leading to a smooth finish. Due to its finesse and elegance and low acidity, it falls under that drink now Pinot. Price point is $50. Compared to other local producer offerings from Gary's and Rosella's I would give this Morgan's vintage 91 pts. The Twelve Clones Pinot has a little more of an acid backbone and is a better QPR priced at $32. The 2010 Cotes du Crow's has a better QPR, at $18 this blend of Grenache & Syrah has rich, dark concentrated fruit aromatics with jammy fruit from the Grenache and a spicy/beefiness from the Syrah driving the palate, making this medium bodied wine pleasant to drink. Like most of their wines the tannins are soft and velvety. The winemaker's notes compare it to blackberry pie. For the price point this wine is a great every day drinking California Rhone-style blend. 89 pts. Overall the tasting room environment, although set in a relaxing decor, was too stuffy for me. I understand the clientele that lives around here or that comes through here, but I didn't feel that personal touch. Granted they were busy on this afternoon, but if you have been to a large amount of tasting rooms you know what I am talking about. I might give their Salinas winery tasting room a try the next time around. That being said, I walked out of there with a few bottles of Cotes-du-Crow's to enjoy that evening and a Gary's vineyard Pinot to do a side by side tasting with some of the other local SLH Gary's vineyard Pinots. read more

I love this place! The servers are really nice and fun to chat with. I bought a couple bottles about a year ago. I even bought a bottle that was not available for tasting because it was so limited, the "Hat Trick." They assured me that it was really good. I agreed with most of the stuff they talked about with wines so I trusted them and bought it even though it was about $100 for one bottle. Amazing! They were right! I can't wait to come back this weekend! read more

This is such terrific wine! The store is very charming and the staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Morgan wines are, of course, readily available in Chicago...but not the full range. It was a great pleasure to try a couple that we can't get "at home". We picked up a couple bottles and had a picnic dinner on the deck of our room at Mission Ranch - terrific view and just the best wine to go with it! Much more fun that sitting inside a restaurant on a lovely late summer evening! read more

My friend and I went into this fantastic tasting room without any expectations, except to try the exceptional wines Morgan offers. However, to our delight, Aaron Covino, the Assistant Manager, created a unique and memorable experience that we will never forget. He was informative and animated without seeming pretentious, at all. He acquiesced to our requests to try a wide range of wines and was enthusiastic about our interests in the store, its history, the wine and so much more. I highly recommend this wine tasting room for both its phenomenal wines and for the high-class and friendly service. read more

Friendly service and nice snacks at the tasting room, but the wines were seriously not tasty, even the super high priced ones. They had sold out of 2 of the pinots, but unusually, we didn't even buy a bottle to offset the tasting fee - nothing was good enough. Skip and go across the street to McIntyre for the good stuff. read more

I didn't like the wines but the young man helping us was awesome. I would return because he was a fabulous host.

Wines are pretty good -- but the real story is if here on a slow day Lance sat us down on overstuffed leather chairs and gave us our tasting with all the info we could ever want - really exceptional attention and as with the places we really like - we walked away a LOT smarter about wine (and with a case in the trunk). Highly recommend. read more

Very pleasant tasting room although hard to find!! What really made the experience was the friendly service from Deborah...she was just so pleasant and attentive....thanks Deb!! read more

Really enjoyed the Pinots and Syrahs here. We walked in and it was obvious that everybody, the pourers and the drinkers, was having fun. Bought the 2010 Pinot Noir Double L and walked out happy. read more

Although Morgan wines are pricey, they are generally a cut-above. We enjoy the two chards we tasted but were disappointed that they had not opened their other two chards. Five dollars for five tastes credited towards purchase is reasonable these days, considering the quality of their wines. The two employees were pleasant enough, if a little green. The tasting room is a bit difficult to find in a rambling shopping center. read more
