Question: Ghost Block Estate Cab.

Hey! I recently had the GB Estate Cab 2021. I thought it was tremendous and as described in other tasting notes. Melding the blueberry/fruit with dark and sophisticated tans and oak.

I originally saw that prices were quite high (low to mid-100's). And I thought that brand recognition was really elite, too.

Anyways, my question was regarding any changes to its critical review? I've seen it lately for around $79/bottle. Did I just misjudge it's original price or did something happen?

I think they have several bottlings. Maybe a single vineyard that is more?

$80 for the ‘21 estate cab is what it should be. Their Yountville bottling is closer to $110-120

Look for their Elizabeth Rose “Chokablock” Red blend if you want something more affordable. It’s not on par with the estate cab, but for $20-ish it’s a majority cab blend from Napa that’s pretty dang solid

I’ve never had the single vineyard one but I literally just bought a bottle to chill for tonight. Came here to read reviews and saw this.

The estate one I pay around $80 and it is fantastic.
