Ghost Block is the latest newcomer to the Napa Valley Cult Cabernet scene - pre-order the new 2015 - will ship April 2018. 94 Points Brix26: "The 2015 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.

Although I fully understand that this is a quality wine, I couldn’t help being “meh” about it. On the feminine side with sweet tobacco & herbs, plums, and mint. A bit too lean for my liking but still a reputable production nonetheless. Don’t think it’s worth the $65 though

Excellent medium bodied zin. Doesn’t have to be drunk with food but great with food. Hint of blackberry.

Lamb chops and filet were perfect with the 2015 dry and succulent simultaneously with the usual suspects of red cherry and black pepper notes.

Lots of cherries and black currants with a balanced clean finish. Very drinkable.

Served at an Obama-hosted State dinner, my grandpa Vinnie’s wake, and at the after party for my son’s Chuck E. Cheese b-day party. Slightly untrustworthy but with sneaky whispers of nothingness that invoke religious persecution.
