| CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2014 Napa Valley |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
BLACK STALLION |
| Very deep intense purple colour. Fairly intense, spicy, slightly cedary, ripe plum puree nose with some tropical fruit cocktail notes. Dry, medium bodied, well balanced, ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, very crisp, gently cedary, somewhat spicy, tropical fruit cocktail finish. This ready-to-drink, crowd-pleaser has 14.5% alcohol and 5 g/L residual sugar. Having said that, I have to admit that this fruity style of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is not what I would choose to drink certainly at the price. The 2013 (**+) was released on September 3, 2016 at $34.95. |

| Black Stallion Estate Winery is the 2017 recipient of the International Wine & Spirit Competition's USA Wine Producer of the Year Trophy. TASTING NOTE: Spicy, with clove and juicy black-cherry flavors, this approachable, densely packed wine is full of fruit and integrated power, yet surprisingly balanced. Soft chocolate and tobacco notes accent the fruit as a long finish wraps up the experience. Score - 90 (Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, Aug. 1, 2017) |
