Similar characteristics to Robert Mondavi Oakville and Oakville Estate. This 2014 might be better left in the cellar for a few years.

Was very good but should have let it open up a little longer. Will hold up and mature nicely over the next few years.

Classic Napa Cab. Bright fruit, rose petal, cassis. I gave it a one hour decant.

The 2014 vintage was a little young- will be better in a few years. Notes of black cherry and Cedar. Hold in your cellar for now.

An enjoyable Cab with a delicious tartness that adds nice youthfulness to the rich notes of vanilla, clove, cedar, and blackberries.

My first Ghost Block. I've heard of this wine and have seen it many times. This is the 2014 and is quite drinkable now. I'm finding my experience however rather underwhelming. This wine seems too bright flavor wise for me. Was expecting more elegance and depth of flavor than I was experiencing. And I usually like Oakvilke wines. Maybe it's just youth and the wine will get better with age. I'll wait a few years before trying it again.
