About the Wine
For over a century, the Pelissa family has been synonymous with Napa Valley’s most prestigious appellations—Oakville and Yountville. Today, their legacy endures through Ghost Block Estate Wines, where uncompromising quality meets a profound dedication to sustainability. Across 650 acres of organically farmed vineyards, Ghost Block meticulously cultivates grapes that reflect the essence of Napa’s terroir in every bottle.
The 2022 Ghost Block Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is an exceptional vintage, sourced entirely from the renowned Rock Cairn Vineyard in Oakville, with a touch of fruit from the historic Ghost Block Vineyard in Yountville. On the nose, it is a bold and captivating symphony of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and blackberry, with rich undertones of cedar, vanilla, dark chocolate, and black peppercorn. This Cabernet offers both depth and elegance, making it a true reflection of Napa Valley’s best.
At the helm of winemaking is Kristi Koford, who has crafted Ghost Block wines since 2001. With a deep background in both technical winemaking and behavioral studies, Kristi brings an innovative, yet approachable touch to her craft. Her meticulous approach ensures every bottle is a masterwork, tailored to reflect both the vineyard's spirit and the vision of its creators. As she so aptly puts it, "We make every effort to understand and implement our clients’ goals."
The 2022 vintage of this Estate Cabernet has consistently earned 94-95 points, and we anticipate even higher accolades as press releases are expected later this summer.

Tasting Notes
96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot. This wine offers a harmonious balance of rich dark fruit, blackberries, and plums with hints of violet, chocolate, vanilla, and spices with aromatics on the palate. Fined grain tannins frame the velvety mid-palate with a crisp, lingering finish. This wine is well-structured and complex and will perfectly pair with grilled lamb chops.
