94 pts – 2021 Black Stallion Limited Release Napa Valley Syrah
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2021 Syrah reveals evocative notes of garrigue, black pepper, and forest floor gracefully emerging from the nose, leading to a core of fresh plums and boysenberries. The full-bodied palate bursts with bold black fruit and peppery flavors, supported by ripe, rounded tannins and great tension, finishing long and savory. – Lisa Perotti-Brown
93 pts – 2021 Black Stallion Gaspare Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2021 Gaspare Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep garnet-purple color. The nose is a little trapped behind the oak at this youthful stage, allowing glimpses and blackcurrant jelly and juicy plums notes with hints of menthol and anise. Full-bodied, the palate similarly sports a good amount of oak, backed up by the seductive black fruits and approachable, grainy tannins, finishing with a spicy kick. – Lisa Perotti-Brown
93 pts – 2022 Black Stallion Limited Release Los Carneros Chardonnay
The 2022 Limited Release Chardonnay is a little oaky on the nose to start, soon opening out to notes of apple butter, baked pears, and honeydew melon, followed by hints of allspice and Marcona almonds. The full-bodied palate is lively with a creamy texture and loads of savory nuances baking up the baked orchard fruit flavors, finishing spicy. – Lisa Perotti-Brown
92 pts – 2021 Black Stallion Limited Release Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2021 Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley barrels out with bold notes of crushed black currants and fresh blackberries, plus nuances of charcoal, cardamom, and crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate bursts with juicy black fruit flavors, framed by firm, grainy tannins, and a lively line, finishing with a minty lift. – Lisa Perotti-Brown
