DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The Ghost Block vineyard is a unicorn of sorts, being a 'mountain' vineyard on the valley floor. The old vines of Ghost Block sit on the side of Yountville Hill— a mountaintop that formerly resided high above the Stags Leap District in the Vaca Mountains. Some eight million years ago, in a cataclysmic event, a portion of the Vacas toppled, tossing a peak to the west.
This relocated peak (Yountville Hill) got turned on its side, revealing a unique, vertical bedding of rarely-ever-exposed Napa Tertiary Volcanics. Ghost Block Cabernet Sauvignon interprets this soil construct with soft, plush tannins and nervous, bright acidity. Down- valley cool mornings add a touch of black tea and rose petals to the varietal traits of blackberry and cassis, all wrapped in old-Napa elegance. Organically farmed.
