Black Stallion Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 90 points - 2018 Ultimate Wine Challenge (Tried and True Award) - The weight of this wine falls noticeably on the palate, with deep and inky fruits like blackberry coulis, stewed black plums, and brandied cherries spiced up with vanilla and cinnamon. Well-integrated acid and tannin calls for red meat..June/2018

Wine Advocate 88 points - 88-90 - A barrel sample, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon has a nose of crushed black cherries, wild blueberries and red and black plums with hints of sauteed herbs and earth. The medium to full-bodied mouth shows baked berries flavors with chewy tannins that are a little hard, finishing long with an herbal lift..December/2017

James Suckling 91 points - Red plums, dark cherries, fresh herbs and licorice. Medium-bodied with round tannins, fresh acidity and a fruity finish. Drink now..December/2017

Decanter 90 points - Delicato’s Black Stallion Winery in the Oak Knoll District makes fairly priced Cabernet Sauvignon and this one’s a beauty, with energetic, juicy blackberry flavours joined by mocha and spice notes from oak ageing. Great value. 35% new oak..November/2018

Located on the grounds of a historic equestrian center, Black Stallion Winery is the latest addition to the distinguished collection of wineries in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley. Each of the varietals we produce is handcrafted and carefully blended from small vineyard lots. Each lot is fermented and aged separately in our cellar until just prior to bottling when we carefully blend these lots together to achieve wines of balance with layers of complex flavors. Black Stallion Winery is dedicated to crafting high quality wines that are elegant and distinctive yet approachable.
