WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Black Stallion Estate Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2021 is crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The wine undergoes aging in French oak barrels, with a notable proportion of new French oak, for an extended period of 18-20 months. This process contributes to the wine's structure and flavor profile. The grapes are sourced from vineyards across Napa Valley, including mountain and valley floor sites, to achieve a balance of power and concentration. The 2021 vintage benefited from a consistent growing season that promoted slow, even ripening and the retention of bright fruit characteristics.
