PILCROW CABERNET SAUVIGNON GHOST BLOCK NAPA VALLEY 750ML 2021

Wine Independent 96

Deep garnet-purple in color, the single-varietal 2021 Ghost Block Cabernet Sauvignon sashays out with gregarious notes of Morello cherries, black raspberries, and redcurrant preserves leading to hints of red roses, iron ore, underbrush, and cinnamon stick. The medium-bodied palate is vibrant and racy, delivering shimmery red and black berry layers with ripe, grainy tannins, finishing on a lingering ferrous note. This comes from an organic-certified single vineyard in Yountville and was aged 22 months in French barriques, 30% new. 242 cases were made.

The Pilcrow Cabernet Sauvignon Ghost Block from Napa Valley is a distinguished wine characterized by deep, rich flavors of dark fruits, such as black cherry and blackberry, complemented by hints of oak and spice. The Napa Valley region, known for its optimal grape-growing conditions, imparts a full-bodied structure and smooth tannins, offering a classic representation of California Cabernet.

This wine pairs excellently with hearty dishes such as grilled lamb, beef stew, or rich pasta with red sauce. It also complements aged cheeses and dark chocolate desserts, enhancing the dining experience.
