Bonded Winery #9 (BW9) was established in 1877 in Oakville, California. Today it is known as Napa Wine Company -- the Pelissa family purchased the facility and surrounding vineyard in 1993. The bonded number 9 still holds true today and this is the only single-digit bonded winery in California still in operation. This new label expresses the most high-quality and sought after fruit from the Yountville and Oakville estate vineyards.

Red Blend
Powerful and bold aromas meet lots of dark, black fruit making this wine extra unique. Blackberry, black cherry and black licorice are present on the palate. While the tannins and very drying, this wine coats your whole palate for a smooth finish. The hints of espresso and vanilla on the tail end of the nice, long finish are influenced from the oak.
About the Producer
Joseph Pelissa came to Napa Valley from Italy and purchased his first 35 acres of land with a single gold coin in 1903. His son Andrew later took over, acquiring 1000 acres in Oakville and Yountville. Today, Ghost Block continues to be family-owned and run, overseen by 4th and 5th generation family members who live on and farm the land. Since planting their first grapes the family has supplied fruit to some of the best wineries in Napa Valley, and is 100% certified organic since 1991.
