The 2021 Ghostrunner red blend includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Ruby Cabernet, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and Merlot.

HISTORY: Ghostrunner is the creation of Mike O’Connell, who seems to have the Midas touch in creating value driven brands that have great success.  Mike, and winemaker Larry Levin, are responsible for bringing brands to the market that many of you are probably familiar with - Pavillon, Grayson Cellars, Hanging Vine and Block Nine.  We’ve stayed in contact with Mike over the years as we knew there would be an opportunity to work together at some point.

ABOUT: The grapes for the wines are selected from several sources throughout California and made in St Helena by Larry Levin.  Larry has over 30 years of experience making wines in Napa for Quintessa and Turnbull.  He takes great pride in producing wines that are driven by their varietal character and have balance, all while providing tremendous value.  We started Ghostrunner as a way to bring to the market a great tasting red blend that you’ll enjoy drinking anytime. Grapes are sourced through Central Valley vineyards that produce rich and elegant wines. This handcrafted wine shows complex fruit and has a gentle, well balanced finish. It can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of foods. At Ghostrunner, we only make a red blend so we focus 100% of our time, resources and passion around just this one wine. We hope you enjoy it and share it with your friends.

TASTING NOTES: The 2021 Ghostrunner shows a dark Ruby color with an aroma that’s rich in Mixed Red & Dark Berries and Black Cherry preserves. Hints of spice including black pepper and bacon carry through on the palate. This decadent red blend finishes with soft tannins, Dark fruit and subtle oak tones. The 2021 growing season was generous is length and consistent temperatures. Flavors were strong at harvest and we think 2021 will prove to be a terrific vintage.

FOOD PAIRING: This versatile Red Blend will pair exceptionally well with Grilled Meats, especially Beef Steaks, BBQ, Poultry, & Lamb; it will also pair beautifully with Burgers, Veal, and even Pan Fried Trout, or other River Fish dishes.
