Ghost Block 2020 Oakville Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

Description

The 2020 Ghost Block Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is composed of fruit sourced from our family-owned and organically farmed Rock Cairn vineyard. This property is characterized by deep, gravelly loam soil with a western exposure. The vines produce highly concentrated fruit late in the season and are typically the last picks of our harvest. Five blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon separated by age reside on this site, ranging from 5- to 35-year-old plantings. This provides an opportunity for capturing characteristics that are specific to vine age, creating a perfect blend to express this valuable site. In this particular vintage, we have incorporated fruit from the renowned Ghost Block Vineyard in Yountville to complement this complex wine. Aged 24 months in 60% new French oak. 70% Rock Cairn Vineyard, Oakville and 30% Ghost Block Vineyard, Yountville. 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot.
