Morgen Long - Black Label 2023 (750ml)

94 Points Jeb Dunnuck

#75 Jeb Dunnuck’s Top 100 of 2025

"The 2023 Chardonnay (Black Label) shows a bright silver/yellow hue. Made with older puncheons and stainless steel, with no new wood, this may be one of the best values Seth has ever released. It bursts with green apples, lime candy, salty earth, and hints of white pepper. Youthful and lightly effervescent at this stage, it’s medium-bodied but packed with intensity. 13 barrels were produced. " (AF)

93 Points Vinous

"The 2023 Chardonnay Black Label cascades from the glass with savory herbal tones, crushed rocks and nuances of apricot. Round textures soothe as ripe orchard fruits swirl across a stimulating core of acid and minerals. The finish is beautifully clean, leaving a crunchy saline sensation and a note of sour citrus that lingers." (EG)

93 Points Wine Advocate

“The 2023 Chardonnay Black Label comes from six different vineyards, including Witness Tree, Durant, Koosah and X Omni. Matured for 17 months in used oak and stainless steel, initial wafts of flint and petrichor give way to apple, pear, lemon pith and beeswax aromas. The light-bodied palate is surprisingly expressive, offering ripe peach, honey and hazelnut flavors and a silky texture. Racy acidity and flinty tones give it a shimmery feel, and it has a very long finish.” (EB)
