Ghost Pines knows no boundaries. Without the restriction of traditional winegrowing boundaries, we source grapes for Ghost Pines wines solely for quality and flavor from wherever we find the best fruit. Though sourcing changes from year to year, this philosophy delivers wines of consistent quality with a distinct combination of richness, smoothness and balance that could never be mistaken for ordinary. Named for the indigenous Gray Pines dotting Northern California’s hillsides, Ghost Pines embodies the progressive spirit of California winemaking and inspires a sense of individuality.

86% Sonoma County
In 2013 Sonoma saw stable, dry conditions that allowed fruit to achieve full ripeness after generous hang time free from the threat of rain. The region’s darkly fruited Merlot gives our wine generous body, seen in its plush midpalate and polished character. Look for dense flavors of black plum, cola and mocha.

14% Napa County
Mild weather and consistent temperatures in Napa set the pace for classically flavored Merlot with black cherry, coffee and humidor notes. The Napa fruit’s monumental structure seamlessly integrates with French and American oak in a wine that offers elegant notes of toast and stellar varietal character.
