2010 Old Ghost
Download Trade Tools

Produced from a 100-year old vineyard, the 2010 vintage of Old
Ghost is an exceptional wine that exudes explosive brambleberry
flavors balanced with structure, elegance and finesse.  The grapes harvested from this block are miniscule in yield and typically smaller in size, offering more "skin to flesh" resulting in higher tannins.  The dense aromatics of berries and spice are coupled with the suggestion of a botanical garden, including mint, licorice, lavender and rosemary.  This Old Ghost is not for the feint hearted and will command your attention. He may be the most benevolent to date...

The 2010 vintage in Lodi was extraordinary with a long, cool growing season yielding beautiful, evenly ripened fruit. With aromas of black cherry, cedar shavings, vanilla and spice, this wine offers rich, supple flavors of cherries and plum, perfect balance and a long, smooth, lingering finish. Nutmeg, cardamom and pepper enhance an exotic nose but bright, dark fruits enhance a superb mouth filling experience. Our winemaker thinks this may be the vintage of the century!
