Black Stallion Estate Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Gaspare Vineyard Oak Knoll District 2019 750 ML

Introduction

The 2019 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon Gaspare Vineyard is an impressive Oak Knoll wine. Boasting expansive aromas of cassis, blueberry, cedar and vanilla, it adds some brighter, red-berried notes as well. Medium to full-bodied, it’s firm but velvety in texture, with a long, mouthwatering finish and hints of dark chocolate. Producer Information Black Stallion Winery (also labeled Black Stallion Estate Winery) is a Californian estate in the Oak Knoll District sub-region of Napa Valley. It is best known for its Cabernet Sauvignon but has a catalogue with a range of other popular grape varieties, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc. The iconic winery was constructed in 2007, marking the establishment of the brand. Black Stallion is located at the historic Silverado Horseman’s Center a former indoor and outdoor equestrian facility established on the Silverardo Trail (and used in the fliming of Francis Ford Coppolla’s Vietnam War film, Apocalypse Now). The property’s equestrian history was the inspiration for the Black Stallion name, and some of the structures of the equestrian grounds were incorporated into the winery, which was built inside the former indoor arena. The wider Black Stallion estate covers 13 hectares (32 acres) with a little more than three hectares (seven acres) under vine. The majority of the vineyards are given to Cabernet Sauvignon but a further three-hectare expansion has been planted with Merlot, Malbec and Syrah. The estate also produces white wines from grapes such as Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. In 2010 the Black Stallion Winery was bought by Delicato Family Vineyards.
