Dry and balanced, with ultrarefined tannins, it shows complex flavors of creme de cassis, minerals and cedar. Just beautiful. Noteworthy for listing all its ingredients on the back label. Drink now through 2012. Editor’s Choice. This wine is a Cult Wine favorite. This is the 3rd vintage and we have carried all of them at Calwine and it sells out quickly. The reviews are not out yet but don't wait as once they are out it will be gone! Winemaker Notes from Rob Lawson: The 2006 growing season was extended and cool with a light crop. As always patience, crop management and vine management were critical in order to allow flavors to develop before picking. The season dragged on as temperatures were cooler in September and October, but this allowed for maximum flavors to develop. Tasting Notes: The 2006 vintage has bright and elegant aromas of cherry, blackberry, tobacco, spice and roses. On the palate the wine leads into a balanced and full attack of ripe blackberries, cherries with deep dark chocolate and coffee in the mid-palate, to a long and lingering finish of toffee, orange peel, and cherries. Well balanced with great weight and structure. Will cellar well. Prior Vintage Ratings:  2005 93 pts (WS) TOp 100 Wines in 2008 93 pts (RP)  2004 92 pts (WS) Using organically grown fruit, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon made by winemaker Rob Lawson (Pavi) has a wonderfully explosive nose, and beautiful red violet color. Medium to full-bodied, with rich black cherry fruit in the mid-palate, this wine has firm structure with well integrated tannin. With great balance and a long soft finish, it is a fantastic bargain compared to other Oakville wines selling for twice the price. Drinking great right now, it will also reward near term cellaring. Inaugural release in 2004 was rated 92 pts by wine spectator. This wine has pedigree! Ghost Block is made from a family who has been growing grapes in Napa Valley for 104 consecutive vintages. This is a California wine. <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/calwine" TITLE="California Wine Wines">California Wine Wines</A> <A HREF="http://www.calwine.com">California Wine</A> California Wine Online Store powered by Nexternal <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart software">shopping cart software</A>
