Ghost Block is a winery that specializes in single vineyard Cabernet
Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. All of the vineyards are family owned
(dating back 110 years) and organically certified. Production is very
limited and family pride is one of the ingredients that make this wine
special. The fruit for the 2010 Ghost Block Cabernet Sauvignon comes from
the Rock Cairn vineyard (28-year-old vineyard in Oakville, Napa Valley
that is 100% Certified Organic). The site is comprised of deep, gravelly
loam with a western exposure, and the vines produce very concentrated
fruit late in the season. It is 100% Cabernet and it was aged 24 months
in French oak, 60% new. The result is a wine that is finesse oriented
with an elegant balance and structure.
92 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2010 Ghost Block Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
is a plump, radiant wine graced with exquisite red fruit flowers,
spices and minerals. It reveals gorgeous fleshiness all the way through
to the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025." ~(Wine Advocate)
