Nestled along the iconic Silverado Trail in Napa Valley’s Oak Knoll District, Black Stallion Estate Winery stands on land once home to the legendary Silverado Equestrian Centre. This 32-acre estate is steeped in character and history, now brought to life through world-class winemaking. Acquired in 2010 by the Indelicato family, a respected name in American wine since 1924, Black Stallion has become known for crafting expressive, polished wines that reflect the best of Napa Valley.
In the glass, the wine opens with seductive aromas of black cherry, dried cranberry, and warm cedar, drawing you into a palate that is opulent yet refined. Layers of red cherry, raspberry, and subtle spice unfold across a full-bodied frame, while mature tannins and well-integrated acidity create a velvety, seamless texture. The finish is long and elegant, echoing with notes of dark fruit and toasty oak.

The property was purchased in 2010 by the Indelicato family, a fourth-generation family-owned company founded in 1924. Sourcing from the most prestigious vineyards, the winery is committed to making only the most expressive wines.
A careful pursuit of perfection underlies each step taken to craft this Cabernet Sauvignon. Grapes from each vineyard were fermented separately, yielding an array of distinct characteristics. Hillside fruit contributed firm tannins, while fruit from lower elevations brought plush, rich flavours. A rigorous barrel program matches each lot to the type of oak best suited to enhance it. Lots for the 2020 vintage matured in different types of barrels; each barrel was chosen for its ability to impart a subtle range of flavours. After undergoing malolactic fermentation in the barrel, followed by 17+ months of ageing, the lots were evaluated blind. Multiple trial blends led to the final cuvée, which includes a small amount of Merlot to strengthen the mid-palate and other traditional red wine blenders to skillfully distinguish this Cabernet’s poised, layered structure.
