PDADAMS66 nailed the notes but my bottle I rated it higher. I absolutely loved the nose and it was super smooth on the back end of the palate. Really well integrated and had a unique and exquisite complex finish and refined profile on the palate with the flavors mentioned in PDADAMS66 note. Sad that I just had this one bottle purchased at auction. Incredible QPR likely because either nobody knew it was the single vineyard or never had Ghost Block. I will try to find some more. This drank at four time the price I paid. I would drink them soon if you have any in your cellar. Highly recommended!

From memory. Dark center, red rim with modest signs of age. Biggish nose of macerated black cherries, plums and blackcurrant, tied together with some oak polish. Similar in the mouth, biggish but has something behind it. Definitely a valley floor Cabernet. Tannin and acid on the low end, which suggests drinking soon. A good effort overall, and well made.

PnP - consistent with prior experience. This is a full bodied, riper style napa cab, which seems to have benefitted from the bottle age. It is pretty well knit together, with dark fruit some leather and tobacco notes. Definitely more on the bigger fruit side of the profile but balanced and enjoyable.

PnP - very dark in color but surprisingly not as extracted on the palate as I was expecting. Definitely Napa Cab but well made and in balance. The fruit leans to the dark side, with some nice tobacco notes coming through. Good not great.

As before, well made but a little less convincing. Too old, too young? Maybe, but could be just a little lacking from the get go.
