Ghost Block Single Vineyard 2013

Description

Winemaker Notes: Nestled on a gently sloping knoll on the north edge of Yountville, Ghost Block vineyard is named in honor of the historic Pioneer Cemetery for which it borders. The vineyard is 16 acres planted to Cabernet Sauvignon. 2013 was a superb vintage. The vines reacted beautifully to the weather which allowed for full development and maturity. Explosive aromas of black cherry pie with hints of sweet chocolate. The underlining dry herbs and vanilla on the nose, lead into an enticing full, lush palate of mature plum, black cherry, and dark chocolate. Integrated throughout the wine is mouth-watering cranberry, and dense oak. This wine is delicious on release with round fine-grained tannins; the perfect aging qualities.
