Description

The Pelissa and Del Bondio families have had a close relationship and have been connected through time. The Pelissa family began harvesting grapes in the valley in 1903 and the Del Bondio family arrived in the Napa Valley in 1902. Andrew Hoxsey, proprietor of Ghost Block and grandson of Andrew Pelissa, and Bryan Del Bondio, president of Markham Vineyards, have come together to create a Meritage blend from their respective Yountville vineyards: the Ghost Block Vineyard, which was part of pioneer George Yount's original land grant where he planted the first grapevines in the Napa Valley; and Markham's historic Yountville Vineyard, first planted after Prohibition, the source of the winery's prestigious Merlots. Andrew and Bryan, both founding members of the Yountville AVA, have come together for a second consecutive year to create this powerful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot specifically for Premiere Napa Valley.
