October 26, 2009:  There is still one last fermenter of Pommard to press tonight and the Ghost Hill 2009 Pinot Noir is complete. Bottling the 2008 on November 18th. The 2008 will be available to order as futures Thanksgiving weekend.

October 15, 2009:  Finding the new Rose very bright and refreshing. Full of ruby red grapefruit, tart raspberries, wild mountain strawberries and lovely white flower and orange blossom floral notes on the nose. Currently about .5 grams of residual sugar and still fermenting along.

October 23, 2009:  Pressed the juice off the skins for the Rose yesterday afternoon. It is now fermenting in stainless steel tanks.

October 22, 2009:  We picked and processed the fruit for the 2009 "Spirit of Pinot Noir" Dry Rose yesterday. The weather was gorgeous and we had a great time sharing it with some of our dearest friends and biggest fans. This afternoon we will be pressing the juice off the skins leaving the gorgeous Rose color.

January 2010:  Our 2007 Pinot Noir received a 91 Rating from Wine and Spirits Magazine with the following tasting notes: "This dark and savory pinot leads with scents of seawrack and plum. With air the aromas grow more exotic: violets, black earth, the black currant fruit given an earthy bottom note like turned soil. The richness of the middle palate suggests serving it with duck."
