89 Points, Wine Advocate - The excellent 2006 Merlot may merit an outstanding score with more bottle age. Notes of mocha, black cherries, coffee, and chocolate soar from the glass of this dark plum-colored wine. It possesses terrific fruit, full body, a lush, hedonistic mouthfeel, and a heady, succulent finish.
Winemaking Notes
The grapes for Ghost Pines Merlot 2006 were gently delivered whole-berry to the fermenter, eliminating harsh bitterness while maximizing fresh fruit characters. Upon arrival, the grapes were inoculated with Bordeaux yeast strain, optimal for the fermentation of premium Merlot. Fermentation completed in an average of 8 days with temperatures not exceeding 880F, producing clean, expressive Merlot character. To create a more complex mouthfeel, 100% of our Merlot completed malolactic fermentation, contributing a complex texture to the already deep, layered flavors.

| Comments: |
When I went into my local Kroger Wine shop I didn''t intend to purchase this particular bottle of Wine. However, as usual on Fridays, they were having a wine tasting. This was one of the two bottles they were letting people try. I decided to try it and it was love at first taste. I forgot what ever it was I went in to buy and quickly picked up a bottle of this wonderful wine. Merlot is one of my favorites anyway, and this Merlot is one of the best I''ve tasted in a long time. I recommend trying this wine. It''s got a top shelf taste for a surprisingly low price. |
