Ghost Pines, Napa County / Sonoma County (California) Merlot 2016

Sep 25, 2018

By Robert Whitley

The Ghost Pines brand comes from the Gallo family of wines and that means it has tremendous access to exceptional vineyards in the Napa and Sonoma regions.  It shows in the absolutely delicious Merlot that is beautifully textured, shows ripe plum and cherry fruit, a pretty note of wood spice and outstanding balance.  All at a very fair price.   A Platinum Award winner at the 2018 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
