x Birth year wine for our son. Not sure if he and his friends appreciated all the qualities of an aged Bordeaux, but my wife and I really enjoyed it. Cheers! and happy holidays.

Ghost Block

Pelissa Vineyard Zinfandel 2021

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose of red berries, cedar and chocolate notes.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, blueberries, oak, licorice, cola, coffee, peppercorn, light earth and herbs.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime.

This Single Vineyard Zinfandel is elegant and not 'in your face' kind of wine, which is nice to see out of Napa. Tasty and easy drinking.

Good by itself as a sipping wine and would pair nicely with a burger.

100% Zinfandel grapes were aged for 14 months in American and Hungarian oak barrels. Only 25 barrels produced.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$45.
