Black Stallion Napa Valley 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon




Black Stallion Napa Valley 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, $21.24-$29.99, 89 points, poured black right up to the purple/red glass edge, clear wine ring, and bowl of fat legs.
Aromatic earth, black currants, cedar, and a hint of brine were consummate.
Full-bodied with good acidity and layered moderate tannins managed black licorice, Kalamata olive, and black fruit flavors.
Finished fair on the trailing palate, a hint of pomegranate, plum, and a warm 14.5% alcohol inspirited spiciness.
Paired perfectly with our loaded pizza.

  1. Fire related story. A neighbour was trying to ship Black Stallion wine to Michigan for a wedding, but, understandably, nothing was shipping out of Napa last week. If he'd asked me for wine, I would have put him in touch with TWWIAGES's distributor in that state.

    1. VG: Does TWWIAGE's distributor carry Black Stallion? Or would they be better-off with TWWIAGE's wines? Maybe both.
