Ghost Pines looks beyond regional boundaries to find the best grapes available throughout California for their wines. This one comes from prime sites in Sonoma, Lake and Napa counties and brings a whack of ripe and rich dark fruit with notes of prune, chocolate, herbs and toast, with floral hints. This velvety, lush wine will be a great option for Merlot's classic pairing of lamb, but try it with shepherd's pie, duck, or roasted pork loin.
