Black Stallion Estate Winery

Limited Release 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon

The Wine. Our Limited Release Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant and full-bodied wine that is quintessentially Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. The aromas are blackberry and cassis with hints of cinnamon. The flavors are dark, ripe, jammy fruit with savory notes. The tannins are velvety, and the wine is beautifully balanced—a delight for Napa Cabernet lovers to enjoy.

The Winery. Located on the historic Silverado Trail in Napa Valley’s Oak Knoll District, Black Stallion Estate Winery pays homage to the rich history of the 32-acre estate which was once home to the Silverado Equestrian Center. The property was purchased in 2010 by the Indelicato family, a fourth-generation family-owned company founded in 1924. Sourcing from the most prestigious vineyards, the winery is committed to making only the most expressive wines.
