Blakeslee Vineyard Estates and Dark Horse Comics are releasing a 2015 Pinot Noir celebrating the comic book Ghost. The wine is packaged in a black matte two-pack with ethereal art from illustrator Adam Hughes. The release is a limited edition of 300 hand-numbered boxes. It will run you about $250.00 before shipping.
The Blakeslee family also offers tastings at their Tasting Room in Sherwood, which you can reach at 503-625-6902 or at their website.
Ghost started in 1993 and has ended up in multiple series. For those who have never heard the story of character Elisa Camerson, here’s a description from Dark Horse:
In Ghost, Elisa believes she is dead, a ghost doomed to walk the Earth with no memory of her past life. As she struggles to make sense of her situation, she learns that she is the victim of an experiment gone terribly wrong. Elisa finds an ally who helps piece together her past life and uncover the secret project that suggests she may not be dead after all.
Dark Horse is excited to strike out into the realm of wine:
“I’m very excited to work with the Blakeslee family to honor a beloved Dark Horse creation,” said Mike Richardson, Dark Horse President. “Ghost is an important character for Dark Horse and represents a time of growth for the company. It’s a special thing to honor the character and its impact more than 20 years later. Did I mention that the wine in the bottle, much like the character Ghost, is out of this world?”
“This partnership between Dark Horse Comics and Blakeslee Vineyard Estate began as dinner conversation over many glasses of fine wine, and we are thrilled to see this special wine come to fruition,” said Bill and Sheila Blakeslee, owners of the Blakeslee Vineyard Estate. “It has been an absolute pleasure and our honor to develop a gorgeous wine that embodies the characteristics of Elisa and the spirit of Dark Horse. We hope you enjoy our Ghost Wine as much as you have enjoyed the Ghost legacy.”
The 2015 Ghost Pinot Noir is a limited edition collector’s item and is only available domestically in the United States.
