Ghost Hull Red Blend Red Wine

As much as $39.88: that is the top price our August 2026 checks turned up for Ghost Hull, a 750 ml red blend from Monterey County. Scheid Family Wines, which makes Ghost Hull, says it was founded in 1972 and has operated in Monterey County, California, family owned, for more than fifty years. The grape or grapes inside the blend we cannot confirm, and we do not have a shopper rating for this wine. The county is broad context rather than a single site: it begins near Monterey Bay, where the growing is cool, and turns much warmer in the valleys to the south. A county origin supplies the setting, not the site.

The cooling has a mechanism. Cool air and fog come off the bay and get drawn down a long valley, strongest at the northern end and weakening toward the south, with wind and temperature swinging through the day. Monterey County is not one single recognized growing area: inside it sit the Monterey AVA and other federally recognized growing areas with much tighter boundaries. At the other end of the price picture, the cheapest our August 2026 checks saw Ghost Hull, across nine stores, was $32.99. The county is what the evidence confirms, so a fair thing to wonder before choosing it: did this red come from the cool, foggy north of the county, or from its warm south?
