Sourced from the organically farmed Rock Cairn Vineyard in Oakville, the 2022 Ghost Block Cabernet shows a full-bodied, deeply colored profile with a layered, seductive bouquet. The nose is rich in blackberry, black currant and plum, with nuances of blueberry, mocha, and soft baking spice and oak. On the palate the wine delivers substantial weight but remains polished thanks to silky tannins and balanced acidity. Dark and red fruit flavors blend with cocoa, violet florals, and subtle allspice, underpinned by a gentle mineral streak and a finish shaped by 24 months in mostly French oak — long, elegant, and evocative. Drinkable now, but with the structure to age nicely over the next decade or more.

About The Producer

The Pelissa family legacy is unique to Napa Valley and rare in the modern day California wine industry. It began in 1902 when Joseph Pelissa came to Napa Valley from Liguria, Italy and purchased his first 35 acres of land with a single gold coin in 1903. His son Andrew later took over, building successful dairy and trucking businesses and eventually acquiring 1000 acres in Oakville and Yountville where he planted wine grapes and other crops. A civic-minded man who was an early champion of keeping Napa Valley in agriculture, Andrew was instrumental in establishing Napa Valley’s Agricultural Preserve Zone. Today, the Pelissa grape-growing operation continues to be family-owned and run, overseen by 4th and 5th generation family members who live on and farm the land. Since planting their first grapes, the family has supplied fruit to some of the most prestigious wineries in Napa Valley, and its entire 635 acres of grapes have been 100% certified organic since 1991.
