Description

Black Stallion Estate Winery Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Black Stallion Estate Winery Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is rich, refined and fruit-forward.

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The fruit comes from Black Stallion's vineyards in top Napa Valley sub-appellations. Each vineyard lends a range of unique influences, yielding distinctive and dramatically different flavours and structures.

Taste Profile: Opens with stunning aromas of blackberries, black cherries and toasted notes. The full-bodied structure is a hallmark. Bold and concentrated fruit flavours of cassis, black plum and blackberry with hints of vanilla and leather spice.

Winemaking Process: Harvesting and sorting the fruit by hand. After crushing at the winery, micro-lots go through fermentation in small tanks made of wood, concrete or steel. After fermentation, the wine is drained using gravity (not pumps) and ages for 18 months in the finest oak barrels. The gentle handling of the wine prevents the extraction of harsh components that could impart bitterness.

Shouldered & Powerful Reds

Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.

They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus

Malolactic fermentation

MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,
