95 points - Jeb Dunnuck

"Spiced black cherries, iodine, leafy herbs, flowers, and some iron notes all soar from the 2022 Pinot Noir Ocean's Ghost Our Lady Of Guadalupe, an incredibly polished, elegant Pinot Noir that's medium-bodied and has a great mid-palate as well as soft, supple tannins. It's brilliantly done and a huge success in the vintage. This might actually be better than the 2021!" — Jeb Dunnuck

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Ocean's Ghost is another terrific wine from Bryan Babcock. This is a pretty ripe style for the Sta. Rita Hills, but all the elements are so well balanced. Succulent dark cherry fruit, plum, licorice, incense, mocha and a kiss of sweet French oak build in the glass. The 2022 is quite overt, but it's a style that works well." — Antonio Galloni
