2014 Ghost Dog (Kata) Napa Valley Red Blend

SKU #1470505 94 points James Suckling

Outer quote mark This is a solid and muscular red with blackberry and blueberry character. Full body, chewy and polished. Big wine yet shows class. A blend of 50% Petit Sirah and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon. Gorgeous. Inner quote mark (12/2017)

92 points Jeb Dunnuck

Outer quote mark The inky colored 2014 Ghost Dog checks in as an even split of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah, and there’s a scant six barrels made. It’s unsurprisingly backward and masculine (that’s Petite Sirah for you), yet has considerable polish and elegance as well as classic black and blue fruits, spring flowers, damp earth and graphite. A sensational steak house red that has full-bodied richness, ripe, present tannin, and a great finish … Inner quote mark (7/2017)

92 points Vinous

Outer quote mark The 2014 Ghost Dog, Kata's second wine, is soft, succulent and open for business. Sweet red cherry, plum, spice and new leather all meld together in this forward, racy wine. Red cherry, plum, chocolate, spice and new leather are pushed forward, with a kick of brightness from the Petite that livens things up. (AG) Inner quote mark (3/2018)

Country:

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.

Sub-Region:

California

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year.

Specific Appellation:

Napa Valley

- America's most famous wine region, which encompasses a varied geographical territory running about 20 miles long from the San Francisco Bay northward to the foot of Mount St. Helena. Napa's great diversity, both in terms of climate and terroir, has led to the creation of a number of smaller AVAs like Stags Leap District, Rutherford, Howell Mountain, Oakville and Mount Veeder, among others. Cabernet and chardonnay still reign supreme, but just about everything under the sun is grown in Napa Valley, in quality levels ranging from $2 jug wine to $500 a bottle California cab.
