The name nods to Bordeaux’s Graves – the historic home of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon – by way of California’s coast. Ghostnote sources from Gist Ranch, a high-elevation organic vineyard above 2,000 feet in the Santa Cruz Mountains, 17 miles from the Pacific. The grapes get Brad Friedman’s signature low-intervention treatment, and the resulting white blend reads classical and saline rather than tropical: think a Pessac-Leognan-inflected California white with mountain grip and Pacific freshness.
