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! — 9 months ago

Fragrant and luscious. Bold, big berry and cherry notes with hint of spice. One the best zins we’ve had this year. Rivals Turley.

While it is not a reserve build, this still sees plenty of oak...malo is avoided here. I like its fresh Chard fruit vibe and viability...acid is key here — 5 years ago

This drinks much better than the last time I had it about 3 years ago. Ripe plum, blackberry, blueberry pie, cinnamon, coconut, and black pepper on the nose. Rich and smooth on the palate, though a bit syrupy.
