Ghost Block
Pelissa Vineyard Zinfandel
Oakville, Napa Valley, California, USA
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.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Spicy nose with black fruits, chocolates and light cedar.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with black cherries, sweet raspberries, plums, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, light alcohol, peppercorn, espresso and chocolates.

This young Zinfandel from Oakville is starting to drink nicely now. Spicy and rich. Elegant and fruit forward. I really enjoyed the nose at this point.
A very interesting wine, as the nose shows black fruits, while red fruits dominate the palate.
This Single Vineyard Zinfandel will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.
Good right out of the bottle and good by itself or with food.

Fragrant and luscious. Bold, big berry and cherry notes with hint of spice. One the best zins we’ve had this year. Rivals Turley.
Great selection at 1st Avenue Wine House in Cedar Rapids, Iowa

A 94 for a Napa Zinfandel? Yep. This one benefited from the extra time and is just outstanding. Depth and complexity not normally experienced with a zin.
