A blend of 96% cabernet sauvignon, 3% malbec, and 1% petit verdot aged for 24 months in (60% new) Fench oak, the 2021 Ghost Block Estate Cabernet Sauvignon "presents a captivating deep ruby-red hue, with luxurious aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and blackberries complemented by subtle notes of cedar, vanilla, dark chocolate, and black peppercorn. The palate has a velvety texture and echoes the aromatic profile. Impeccable balance and finesse unfold with silky-smooth tannins leading the way and a refreshing, lingering acidity."

94 points, Wine Spectator: 
"A solid, fruit-driven version, this red offers cassis, plum pâte de fruit, and boysenberry compote flavors backed by licorice and apple wood notes. A late tug of warm earth adds length and drive. Drink now through 2038." (10/31/24 issue)
