2022 Pilcrow Ghost Block
Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon from a fallen-down mountain top revealing two epochs of terroir - a little sprezzatura with soft, black fruit a touch of olive tapenade and plush, gentle tannins.

Jonah’s love affair with the Napa Valley began with Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars. Of all the amazing people he met there it was Nathan Fay that made the biggest impression.
Inspiration
Nathan used to taste the new release of SLWC’s FAY each year with Jonah while sitting in the back of the winery near the bottling line. It was more “relaxing” for him there than in the tasting room. He loved down-valley coolness in his Cab.

95 - 96 2022 Ghost Block Cabernet Sauvignon
“The single-varietal 2022 Ghost Block Cabernet Sauvignon was tasted as a barrel sample, due to be bottled in July 2024. Deep garnet-purple in color, it needs a little swirling and shaking to wake up scents of ripe black plums, boysenberries, and blackcurrant jelly plus suggestions of clove oil, lavender oil, black peppercorns, and licorice. The medium to full-bodied palate is taut with muscular black fruits supported by very fine-grained tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing long and with a compelling chalkiness. This comes from an organic-certified single vineyard in Yountville.”
