Ghost Block 2025 MorgaenLee Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley

Rare white from Ghost Block! The Ghost Block Sauvignon Blanc from the MorgaenLee Vineyard in Yountville, Napa Valley is a small-production gem. 

The Ghost Block Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from the oldest block in the MorgaenLee Vineyard, located in Yountville, Napa Valley. This property encompasses 30.25 acres, primarily planted with certified-organic, family-owned Sauvignon Blanc. The vines, planted in 1978, are Clone 1 grafted to St. George rootstock, and this block is dry-farmed. During harvest, we divide the block into three separate picks, each targeting different stages of maturity. This approach allows us to blend three distinct wines from the same block, each with unique flavor profiles, resulting in a breathtaking Sauvignon Blanc. This meticulous approach allows us to blend three different wines from the same block, each with its own unique flavor profile, resulting in a truly exceptional Sauvignon Blanc.

Tasting Notes: "Bright and energetic, the 2025 MorgaenLee Sauvignon Blanc opens with citrus, white flowers, white peach and fresh stone fruit, with subtle melon and a distinct mineral character. The aromatic profile is precise and fresh rather than broad or overly tropical. On the palate, the wine is lively and acid-driven, showing greater brightness and energy than the 2024 vintage. Citrus and white peach carry through a vibrant mid-palate, while natural acidity and minerality create tension, focus and length. Approximately 30% of the wine was held in concrete to preserve primary fruit and emphasize freshness, with the balance in stainless steel. No Sémillon was incorporated into the final blend. The finish is long, clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus, stone fruit and mineral notes. 100% Sauvignon Blanc." - Priyanka Darr French, winemaker
