If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind the Ghost Block w**es, meet Priyanka!

Priyanka Dhar French came to Ghost Block with a pretty incredible w**emaking journey already behind her; from UC Davis to Bordeaux, Burgundy and New Zealand, before returning to Napa Valley.

Her first harvest with us was in 2025, and we’re now heading into another vintage with Priyanka working alongside our vineyard team to make those big decisions about when each block is ready to pick.

She has a real respect for the land and for letting the vineyard do the talking, which feels pretty fitting for Ghost Block.

We are so lucky to have her!🍷

The weekend is here. Time to trade the to-do list for a bottle of w**e and a little time with the people who matter most🥂

For 5 generations, gathering around good w**e and good company has been at the heart of what we do.

So pour the w**e, call your favorite people, stay a little longer, and enjoy the weekend the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

From grapes to glasses 🍇🍷

Long before a bottle reaches your table, there’s a vineyard, a growing season, and a whole lot of watching, tasting, and waiting for the right moment.

At Ghost Block, our vineyard team tends more than 320,000 vines across our family’s seven vineyards in Oakville and Yountville. Every block is a little different, so harvest isn’t simply about picking when the calendar says it’s time. Our team walks the vineyards, tastes the fruit, watches how it’s developing, and decides when each block is ready to go.

And that’s where the good stuff starts. The soil, sun, weather, elevation, and even the individual block all leave their mark on the grapes, and eventually, the w**e in your glass.

We’ve been farming this land since 1903, and after all these generations, we’re still learning from it every harvest.

The People Behind the Vintage 🍇

Throughout the growing season, our team tends more than 320,000 vines by hand. This year asked more of everyone than most, with a compressed timeline and long days to ready every block as the fruit ripened.

W**emaker Priyanka Dhar French is deeply grateful to the crews at Yount Mill Vineyards and Napa W**e Company, who have kept bottling underway while bringing in fresh fruit at the same time. No easy feat, and they've met it with flexibility and heart.

And of course, no day at Ghost Block is complete without Chloe, our four-legged assistant, keeping a close eye on the vineyards and cellar. 🐕

2026 is shaping up to be early, concentrated, and vibrant. We can't wait to see where it goes next, and eventually, in the glass.

Meet Margaret Meraz, our Director of Consumer Sales & Hospitality🥂

Margaret has spent years in the Napa Valley w**e and hospitality world, and today she’s a big part of the team behind how we share Ghost Block with the people who visit us, collect our w**es, and become part of our community.

Her connection to w**e country goes back long before Ghost Block, and she brings that experience with her every day, whether she’s connecting with our guests, sharing our w**es, or helping create the kind of experience that keeps people coming back.

In 2024, Margaret even had the chance to host a special tasting for fellow San Francisco State alumni right here at Ghost Block.

We're so very lucky to have Margaret apart of our team 😊

The Little Block Making a Big Impression: Oakville W**ery ‘23 Montepulciano 🇮🇹🇺🇸

Style: Dry Red
Country of Origin: USA 🇺🇸
Region: Oakville - Pelissa Vineyard (Napa Valley)
Year: 2023
Varietal: 100% Montepulciano
ABV:
Price: 💵💵
Rating: 92 Points

The grapes for this very limited bottle come from a 0.4-acre research block within Pelissa Vineyard in Oakville, California—a site I actually got to see on my last trip to Napa! Planted in 2003 on St. George rootstock, this small block has performed exceptionally well, producing an especially unique expression of this Italian varietal.

The Pour🍷
This very limited w**e poured a deep ruby hue, opening with aromas of black cherry, vanilla, cinnamon, plum, berry pie, forest floor, and roasted sage.

The Sip✨
This Italian varietal delivered a smooth, slightly jammy experience while maintaining plenty of restraint and complexity. Medium-bodied with medium tannins and moderate acidity, the w**e felt incredibly balanced from the first sip. There’s a great combination of power and finesse, with a generous coating across the palate and a deep, rolling finish. Dark earthy layers of granite and forest floor mingle with red and purple fruit, creating a w**e that feels both distinctive and approachable. If you’re looking for a rare Napa bottle with a serious sense of place, this one is worth seeking out.

The W**ery 🍇
Oakville W**ery is under the Ghost Block Family Portfolio. Ghost Block Estate W**es is a fifth-generation, family-run estate focused on crafting w**es from organically farmed vineyards throughout Oakville and Yountville. Through its three brands—Elizabeth Rose, Oakville W**ery, and Ghost Block—the family emphasizes sustainability and terroir, farming all 650 acres under certified organic practices.

Tasting Notes 🍒
Plum, granite, black cherry, cedar, leather, light to***co.

Perfect Pairing 🍟🌶️
BBQ Brisket Loaded Fries with Pickled Jalapeño.
