(Napa Valley, California) - [JS 91]

About the Wine:
Silver Ghost is a bold and richly expressive Cabernet Sauvignon, made from some of the finest vineyards in Napa Valley. It shows a deep color and vibrant bouquet of blueberries, violets, and crème de cassis. On the palate, layers of lush red and blue fruits, are complemented by notes of mocha and dark spice. The wine's luxurious texture and depth carry through to a long finish.

The 2023 Silver Ghost Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley comes from Weston Eidson, one of the hottest young winemakers in Napa and the protégé of 100-point superstar Russell Bevan—and it marks the return of a wine that has become our go-to under-$50 bottle.

“I've been making wine for over a decade and have never experienced such hang time,” Weston told us, over a glass of the ‘23. “We achieved optimal ripeness, with amazing color, phenolic maturity, and acidity.” This bottle comes from three spectacular sources in Oakville, Yountville, and the cool Sugarloaf area—blue-chip Napa Valley vineyards that often provide grapes for triple-digit-priced Cabernets.

Ratings & Reviews

91 Points - James Suckling:
"A fresh and appealing Napa cab, offering bright cherry and berry aromas, moderate tannins and some good, appetizing acidity. Full-bodied in terms of alcohol, yet it feels balanced on the palate. Drink now." (May 2025)
