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.

Brazilian steakhouse and a night tour of Stanford 🌲 🏈 . Thanks for the great hospitality Michael & Henrik, look forward to more visits.

Now the wine:
Raspberries, floral notes, toasted oak, light body. Paired well with the filet and skirt steak. The Pelissa vineyard is located on Oakville Crossroads directlybehind the family winery, creating this Estate grown & produced Zinfandel.

Classic Napa zin. Don't want this very much but when I do-very happy with Ghost Block.

Explosive cocoa and gobs of unexpected acid. Very cool. First vintage.

A very good Zinfandel. One of the better ones we tasted while in the Napa Valley. Perfect balance of plum jam and peppery spice with a hint of dark chocolate on the palate. Nose is full of plum jam and a touch of tobacco and freshly chopped wood.

A home run from the always tasty ghost block. Love their cabs and now their zin. It's not your typical jammy zinfandel, has some character. Better as is opens up, since it's still new.
