Black Stallion, Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

Very beautiful. This estate makes one of my all-time fave US cabs in the ~$30 range, so it was great to find that their mid-range wine was also fantastic QPR, and considering that aspect, I could be underrating it. Effortless nose with deep blackberry crumble, some powerful vanilla/chocolate oak (without totally overwhelming the fruit) and a tiny little dose of earthy tobacco, not green, just a small component. Pretty much the same on the palate- nice black fruit, balanced vanilla …

Nice fruit. Improved while in the glass. Should improve with a couple of cellar years

On Saturday we drank Black Stallion Limited Release 2016. Unlike little brother, this is really a step up in quality. Better balanced, not the feeling of oak chips, here is a feeling for terroir, not an artificial wine that should satisfy the market that applies to little brother. On the other hand, Limited Release is a bit short, does not think the tannins do the job, thus lacks a bit of structure. But nice fruit that is typical Cabernet Sauvignon. …

Loved this wine! Great dark fruits and just enough wood. Fantastic for the money! Enjoyed at the Llanos with Cyndi and Kerry while Enrique was in Mexico.

Excellent Cab, full-bodied, nice taste of black currant and other dark fruit, cedar wood, soft tannings, perfect balance

Absolutely fabulous. Ready today or in a few years. A friend visited the winery and suggest this one to me. Great recommendation. I think I’ll have to add another case to the vault.

Very soft and easy with a luxrious sense of new oak. Did Jerry Bruckheimer produce the Black Stallion is the question.

Black fruit to it, tastes like dark napa cab. At $60 or so it works.
