Ghost Pines

Our Zinfandel opens with aromas of ripe raspberry jam, toasted oak and cracked peppercorn. Lush notes of dark fruit, brown spice and cola play rich on the palate. Framed by a rich structure, our Zinfandel delivers a long, complex finish.

The 2017 Ghost Pines Red Blend showcases the depth and ripeness of fruit grown in Sonoma, Napa and Lake Counties. A deep magenta hue in the glass, aromas of fragrant raspberries and blackberries on the nose meld with layered notes of leather, sweet spice and cocoa on the medium-bodied palate. A touch of oak and soft tannins give structure to the mouth, finishing with a long, smooth flourish.

This wine opens with Pinot Noir’s distinguishing bright plum and cherry notes, but then it takes a turn. The flavors are bold and more intense than the average Pinot Noir, with characteristics of summer blackberry, pomegranate and dried rose petals. Oak aging imparts hints of vanilla, baking spice and freshly roasted coffee beans. A hint of cocoa, plush tannins and a round mouthfeel lead to a satisfying finish.

Ghost Pines Chardonnay offers layers of toasted brioche and baked apple with bright zests of lemon. This wine displays richly layered characteristics of pear, toasted oak and vanilla spice on the palate. Vibrant acidity complements the lush, textured mouthfeel, finishing with balance and grace.

Our Ghost Pines Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of black cherry, chocolate and a hint of spice on the nose. On the palate, nuances of blackberry, ripe plum, black currant and vanilla bean add complexity to this rich, exceptionally smooth Cabernet Sauvignon. Well balanced, with fine tannins and hints of oak featuring on the long finish.

Our Merlot begins with dark aromas of black cherry, cocoa and sage accentuated by rich notes of blackberry, toasty mocha, and clove on the palate. These ripe flavors are framed by a smooth mid-palate full of depth with layers of smooth texture. This wine finishes with tremendous length supported by firm, plush tannins.
