Ghost Block Estate Wines, located in Napa Valley, is owned by the Hoxsey family, who have a rich history in the region dating back over a century. Their lineage traces back to Joseph Pelissa, an Italian immigrant who established a vineyard in Napa in the early 1900s. The Hoxseys currently manage approximately 1,000 acres, with 650 acres planted to vines, growing 16 varietals. They have been committed to organic farming since 1986 and are known for their historical vineyards, including Block House Vineyard, the site of early winemaking in the valley. The family operates their own vineyard management team and produces about 15,000 cases annually under three brands: Ghost Block Estate Wines, Elizabeth Rose, and Oakville Winery. Their tasting room, located at Napa Wine Co, was recently revamped to focus solely on their wines, providing a more personalized visitor experience. The winery also serves as a custom crush facility, supporting various other brands in the region. The Hoxsey family prefers to maintain a low profile, allowing their contributions to the Napa Valley's agricultural community and their wines to speak for themselves.
