Ghost Pines
Winemaker's Blend Cabernet Sauvignon
Medium-high acid. Medium tannins. Medium body.
Not mind-blowing or amazing, but not bad. Aroma and taste are typical of a Cabernet Sauvignon.
Rating: I'd drink it again if someone else was buying.

Medium to deep ruby red. Dark nose with anise, gunpowder, dark berries, and gravel. Light spices and earthiness too. Medium tannins (6/10) and light plus to medium body. Notes of black cherries, spices, woody and some sweet spices. Medium finish. Drink till 2020.

Jul 2nd, 2017I let it decant for about an hour & a half then tried my first glass.
Strong on the nose with almost a dark cherry/ peppery smell.
I get a jammy blackberry with dark cherry/ subtle cocoa. Not as smokey as I'd like or nutty but I'll update this as the wine decants further
Drinking with my wife :)

I was totally surprised with the complexity and depth of this wine, at such a reasonable price point. It's a treasure trove of vanilla and dark berries. As it opens up, there are pleasurable layers of cocoa and tobacco. I'll be picking up a few more bottles.
