a fine PN that has some excellent Burgundian-style earth and raisin fore notes and Central Coast lush fruit.

Crazy acid. Super tight. Mineral and stone. High tone red fruit, but savory. I imagine this will hit it's stride about 10 years out.

Substantial tobacco/smoke on the mouth of our 2012 bottle. Emerging bitterness as it opened up.

This Pinot will blow your mind ... Hard to detect the delicate Pinot notes ... But DELISH nonetheless.

Decent nose of tobacco, but a very bland tasting wine. If you're just looking for something to drink without flavor this is it

Aptos creek - this was quite hot. Same tasting note as the other ghostwriter wine. A let-down all things considered.
