Ghost Cellars Reserve 2017, Paso Robles, California
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, tobacco leaf, herbs, light oak, spices and licorice. Very aromatic nose.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with blueberries, black currants, cooked plums, cedar, tobacco, chocolates, peppercorn, light earth, licorice, light eucalyptus and black tea.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 9 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Paso Robles is drinking beautifully now. Complex with a nice mouthfeel. Spicy and entertaining, tangy and interesting.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. After 3 hours, the nose is just beautiful.
I had it 4 years ago and decided to give it a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Still showing lots of fruits with great complexity. So much better now.
Drinking at its peak, and will continue to do so in the next few years.
A good sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.
A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Merlot.
13.4% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
