Ghost Block

Pelissa Vineyard Zinfandel 2021

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose of red berries, cedar and chocolate notes.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, blueberries, oak, licorice, cola, coffee, peppercorn, light earth and herbs.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime.

This Single Vineyard Zinfandel is elegant and not 'in your face' kind of wine, which is nice to see out of Napa. Tasty and easy drinking.

Good by itself as a sipping wine and would pair nicely with a burger.

100% Zinfandel grapes were aged for 14 months in American and Hungarian oak barrels. Only 25 barrels produced.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$45.

Stags' Leap Winery

Napa Valley Petite Sirah

Stags' Leap Winery was one of the early pioneers in establishing Petite Sirah as a premium varietal. The vines date back to 1893, but the block is actually a field blend of 85% Petite Sirah and 15% other unknown varietals.
Our group tasted the 1977 - 1992 vintages (32 to 47 years old). The 1980 was my
#2.
