2021 · Santa Cruz County Cuvée Pinot Noir

Ghostwriter is an independent California label focused on Santa Cruz Mountains fruit, sourcing from sites including Woodruff Family Vineyard and Amaya Ridge. The project is associated with Dexter Ahlgren and Kenny Likitprakong, with operations based in Santa Rosa. Production is limited and centered on Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and small amounts of Syrah. Farming and winemaking emphasize a low-intervention approach: dry-farmed vineyards, very low yields, native yeast fermentations, spontaneous malolactic, minimal sulfur added before bottling, and wines bottled unfined and unfiltered. The style is clearly site-driven and small-scale, with no formal certifications or corporate ownership details noted in the sources.
