2007 is holding well and at a great point to drink. Lots of spice, medium tannins and pretty bright fruit. Some signs of age with slight jamminess

Waited on this ‘14 for a special occasion- 25th Anniversary dinner with my lovely Diana- richness has come out with age, smooth tannins but that dark cherry and Rit’s Earthiness are pronounced from this unmistakable terrior. Oceans Ghost is always a journey through the old sea floor and those cooling ocean influences on the grey earth. Terrific!

It's a good wine but not for my palate. Cranberry nose. On palate, Strawberry. Honey and syrup. Just too sweet. I remember this being overly sweet upon tasting at the vineyard in January. UPDATE! Way better the next day! Gained 2 points!
