A little too spicy for my liking. Definitely needs to be paired with food because of that. Medium low tannins. Medium acidity. Dark fruits. Plums. Raisins. — 7 years ago

Plums on the nose. On the palette it hits hard with red fruit. Prominent plum and raspberry taste. Medium plus tannins. Really sticks to your teeth. Otherwise generally soft finish. Medium oak and mouthfeel. Not sure I'd buy again — 8 years ago

Red fruit and some vanilla on the nose. Very fruit forward. Strong presence of cherry and strawberry. Jammy fruit. Medium minus bodied. Mild acidity. Medium tannins make for a slightly dry (though not overly so) finish. Huge fan of this wine — 8 years ago

Sweet for a Chardonnay. Tree fruit on the nose. Pear and green apple. Medium plus acidity. Medium bodied. Tangy citrus mouthfeel. Green apple. Good for the price. Not sure I'd necessarily pick it out at a store. This bottle was free. — 8 years ago

9.0

Really a fan of Ghost Pines. Heavily ripened dark berries and mocha. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Medium to medium minus tannins, lower than expected, makes for a more velvety mouthfeel. A solid, good wine. Not mind blowing but VERY good. Would definitely buy again. — 8 years ago
