Black Stallion Gaspare Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Originating from the United States in California’s Napa Valley, specifically within the cooler Oak Knoll District subregion, Black Stallion Gaspare Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon represents one of the estate's single-vineyard bottlings. Located on the historic site of the former Silverado Horseman’s Center, Black Stallion Estate Winery was established by the Indelicato family to highlight the distinct terroir variations across Napa Valley. The Gaspare Vineyard, named in honor of family founder Gaspare Indelicato, sits in an ideal location where morning coastal fogs and gravelly clay soils allow Cabernet Sauvignon to ripen slowly while retaining natural acidity and refined elegance.

Wine Description

The wine displays a dark, opaque purple ruby colour with deep garnet highlights. The nose opens with an enticing bouquet of ripe black currant, plum, and dark cherry, accented by nuanced layers of dried lavender, graphite, dark chocolate, and toasted oak spice. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied experience rich in concentrated dark berry fruit, sweet tobacco, and crushed stone minerality. Supported by a lively streak of natural acidity and framed by firm, velvety tannins, it leads to a long, polished finish with lingering spice and cocoa notes.
