A vibrant, finely tuned Napa Cabernet—where power meets precision in a beautifully expressive vintage.

The Wine

The 2023 release of Silver Ghost Cabernet Sauvignon showcases a more lifted, aromatic profile compared to the 2022—highlighting the finesse and purity that define the house style. Sourced from select vineyard sites throughout Napa Valley, this vintage leans into freshness and clarity while retaining the depth expected of top-tier Cabernet.

Meticulous vineyard selection and restrained winemaking result in a wine that is both approachable in its youth and built for graceful aging.

Tasting Notes

A deep ruby-purple color. The nose is bright and expressive, offering black cherry, cassis, and wild blackberry, accented by violet, crushed stone, and fresh herbs. Hints of cocoa, cedar, and subtle spice add dimension.

On the palate, it is full-bodied yet energetic, with polished tannins and vibrant acidity. The fruit profile is pure and lifted, leading into a long, refined finish marked by dark berries, graphite, and a touch of savory earth.

Cabernet Sauvignon remains Napa Valley’s defining grape, prized for:
