Ghost Block Estate Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
*Pre-Order your allocation now - wine will ship mid April 2017!* Ghost Block is the latest newcomer to the Napa Valley Cult Cabernet scene - new 2014 now available to pre-order. 94 Points Brix26: "The 2014 Ghost Block Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits the typical distinctive flavors of Ghost Block and the Rock Cairn vineyard. Finesse oriented with an elegant balance and structure. Bright floral aromatics, such as rose petals and tobacco. A full-bodied cabernet that attacks with loads of dark berry fruits, cocoa and nutmeg. The palate is supported by the lasting finish of black cherries and coffee." Nestled on a gently sloping knoll, Ghost Block vineyard is named in honor of Napa's pioneer winemakers who rest in a tiny 150 year old cemetery on the north edge of Yountville - the epicenter of Napa Valley. Graced with perfect drainage and sunny exposure, Ghost Block Vineyard is a jewel, an heirloom, passed down through a single family for over 100 years. Coveted by celebrity winemakers, the fruit from this and nearby vineyards has been the cornerstone of many of Napa's "Cult Wines". The secret is out. Production is very limited.

Similar characteristics to Robert Mondavi Oakville and Oakville Estate. This 2014 might be better left in the cellar for a few years.

Was very good but should have let it open up a little longer. Will hold up and mature nicely over the next few years.

Classic Napa Cab. Bright fruit, rose petal, cassis. I gave it a one hour decant.

The 2014 vintage was a little young- will be better in a few years. Notes of black cherry and Cedar. Hold in your cellar for now.

An enjoyable Cab with a delicious tartness that adds nice youthfulness to the rich notes of vanilla, clove, cedar, and blackberries.

My first Ghost Block. I've heard of this wine and have seen it many times. This is the 2014 and is quite drinkable now. I'm finding my experience however rather underwhelming. This wine seems too bright flavor wise for me. Was expecting more elegance and depth of flavor than I was experiencing. And I usually like Oakvilke wines. Maybe it's just youth and the wine will get better with age. I'll wait a few years before trying it again.
